[Texmacs-dev] number of open files

[Joris van der Hoeven]

Dear all,

I am experiencing a strange error under MacOS:
when working for a while with TeXmacs, it sometimes occurs that
files are no longer saved. It turs out that I have "too many open files".
There is a command 'lsof' to see the list of open files and
their number (124) seems to be way below the allowed limit (256).
Is the open file count or the allowed limit unreliable?
What is going on, and how can I accurately determine
the real number of open files and the real limit?

Best, --Joris
