How many fds can *you* open?

[Dan Kegel <dank at kegel dot com>]

I'm having trouble on both my recently-updated cygwin
machines.  They crash after opening 130 to 180 fds.
Here's a little program that just counts how many
fds it can open for /dev/null.  I suspect a few of
you will also have my problem.  Could you run this
and report back how many fds it reports, or whether it crashes?
Thanks,
Dan


#include <stdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	int i;
	for (i=0; open("/dev/null", O_RDONLY) != -1; i++)
		;
	printf("opened %d fds\n", i);
	return 0;
}
