cds - too many file descriptors?

[aryarm]

I ran into this error using cds:

-bash: redirection error: cannot duplicate fd: Too many open files
-bash: /dev/null: Too many open files

Is the problem reproducible? Try keeping terminal open for a couple days and using cds a lot.
Maybe WSL isn't properly removing file descriptors?

In any case, the problem went away as soon as I closed the terminal and reopened it. It seems kinda obscure. I haven't run into it a second time.

a quick look into how I should be closing file descriptors led me to this page, which explains that both <&- and >&- syntax work to close file descriptors, so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong in that arena

[aryarm]

If it isn't cds's fault, it could be happening because other scripts are creating file descriptors and forgetting to close them (or perhaps only one script that's being run multiple times).

[aryarm]

it's been more than a year and I've never run into this problem a second time

even if it is a problem with cds, I have no way of reproducing it, so I'll close this for now
