Failing command line in full:

emcc -sNODERAWFS -o file_close.js file_close.c
node file_close.js
...lots of output...
Opening file /tmp/test4080
No file descriptors available

This is failing because I expect given the code below that I would not run out of file descriptors.

file_close.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>

static size_t num_digits(unsigned int x) {
    size_t digits = 0;
    do {
        x /=10;
        digits++;
    } while (x);
    return digits;
}

int main() {
    FILE *fp;
    char base[] = "/tmp/test";
    size_t len = strlen(base);
    for (unsigned int i = 0; i < 4098; i++) {
        size_t newlen = len + num_digits(i);
        char* name = (char*)malloc(newlen + 1);
        sprintf(name, "%s%u", base, i);
        printf("Opening file %s\n", name);
        fp = fopen(name, "w");
        if (fp == NULL) {
            printf("%s\n",strerror(errno));
            break;
        }
        fprintf(fp, "%u", i);
        fclose(fp);
        free(name);
    }
}

Note that I close the file after opening it each iteration.

This was found when working on CPython's test suite, but I was able to cut down the repro to repeatedly opening and closing files as in the code above.

I installed 3.1.8 and this error does not occur. So I believe this is a regression in 3.1.9.
