[Mono-osx] System.IO.IOException: Too many open files XSP

[Sean Hignett]

Mostly I run XSP from within Eclipse as an external tool, and I have  
been using it without issue (at least not a major one) on OSX (intel)  
since the macbooks came out.

Last night I went to run my relatively non-trivial ASP.NET app on my  
mac mini (also intel), and after a few pages into the app, I would  
consitently get: System.IO.IOException: Too many open files XSP.

It is XSP 1.1.17 from the package dmg install.

The staketraces didn't appear to follow any pattern, at one point it  
was during a scan of the assemblies bin, at another, not.

After the error happens once, it keeps repeating itself on every  
request.

When I run XSP from Eclipse on the same machine, it works fine, and I  
can run through a full test suite of the application without ever  
hitting that error.  As soon as I run it outside of eclipse, that  
error happens at exactly the same point.

Is this a common/known/reported issue?

The fact that it works from within Eclipse seems to suggest timing is  
a factor, as I imagine the Eclipse wrapper adds some overhead that  
slows things down....

perhaps it is the unbridled speed of the core duo that is making XSP  
puke :) lol.

Thanks,
Sean
