Bug#1005219: minidlna: Floods logfile with 'minidlna.c:166: error: accept(http): Too many open files'

[Nicolas Schier]

Package: minidlna
Version: 1.3.0+dfsg-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When I let minidlna run for some weeks, it eventually starts flooding its
logfile with endlessly repeated

minidlna.c:166: error: accept(http): Too many open files

until the filesystem is full. (Which is a quite annoying behaviour to me.)

Kind regards,
Nicolas

This sounds like an issue that should be reported (and fixed) upstream.

[Tobias Schlemmer]

Package: minidlna
Followup-For: Bug #1005219

Version 1.3.0 has a confirmed socket leak that should be fixed in 1.3.1 with
https://sourceforge.net/p/minidlna/git/ci/2c66335a9b63387728496e2fea4fbefc080ceebe/

Btw. 1.3.2 is out.
