[kaffe] File descriptor leak

[Daniel Bonniot]

Hi,

I've tried using kaffe to run the testsuite for the Nice[1] compiler 
(which involves a fair share of reflection and classloading). It soon 
fails, and after some investigation it's due to file descriptors running 
out (watching /proc/<id>/fd/*, it fails exactly when 1024 are used, 
which is the limit). Looking at the file open, I see a lot of 
duplicates. That is, many different descriptors refer to the same file. 
These files are indeed opened several times, so the problem seems that 
they are never released.

Is this a known bug? As far as I remember, I used to be able to run the 
testsuite before, so this looks like a regression (no 100% sure of 
course, since Nice also changed).

I'm using the 1.1.5 prerelease in Debian.

Daniel
