bzr explorer crashes if not ulimit > 1024 is set

Can you please clarify a few things:

* Is this really about `ulimit -f` rather than one of the other setting? That's normally unlimited.
* Did you manually set a lower value, or is the default setting wrong?
* Please attach the section of .bzr.log (running `bzr version` will tell you where to find it) which includes the traceback of bzr-explorer failing.

If this is about file handles rather than one of the other ulimit settings might be bug 926439 related.

Sorry, it seems to be the same bug as https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/926439

bzr explorer opens, but dies when opening a repository with:

$ bzr explorer
QKqueueFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: open: Too many open files
.... (174 lines like this)
QKqueueFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: open: Too many open files
QEventDispatcherUNIXPrivate(): Unable to create thread pipe: Too many open files
QEventDispatcherUNIXPrivate(): Can not continue without a thread pipe
Abort trap
$

If I use ulimit -n 1024 (I suposse any number greater than 174- a few more should work) bzr explorer opens the repository and works ok

$ bzr version
Bazaar (bzr) 2.5.0
  Python interpreter: /usr/local/bin/python 2.7.3
  Python standard library: /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.3/lib/python2.7
  Platform: Darwin-10.8.0-x86_64-i386-64bit
  bzrlib: /usr/local/Cellar/bazaar/2.5.0/libexec/bzrlib

It's an installation in OS X 10.6.8 with homebrew

Thanks for clarifying. Either upping the file handle limit, or disabling the filesystem watcher as per the patch in the existing bug are possible workarounds.

It looks like known problem with filesystem watcher.
