[Vm-dev] unix SqueakSource socket 'too many open files' problem

[tim Rowledge]

Didn't I mention that before? - the vm I can only identify as 5.0-201807260206 from the lib/squeak directory name. Levente thinks that's the default one for the original 5.3 alpha package that is almost certainly what I downloaded to build this system 18 months ago. Sounds plausible to me.

If I have to restart anytime soon I'll try the latest VM and see if it makes any difference. So far today nothing is going wrong though; it has crept up to 20 fds open - 4 sockets right now.
