Description petr 2002-10-15 10:47:20 UTC 
Description of problem:
After letting "Network configuration" window open for some time, python tracebak
appears saying that "Too many open files".

How reproducible:
Always, tested on 2 boxes with different configuration.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Network configuration
2. Wait for some time
3. Traceback window appears saying:

Traceback (most recent calls last)
File "/usr/sbin/neat", line 774, in update_devicelist
File "/usr/sbin/../redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/Config.py", line 64, in __init__
File "/usr/sbin/../redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/Config.py", line 64, in load
OSError: Too many open files

Even the traceback is not possible to save, the only solution is to kill the
python process.

lsof shows 1024 lines of:
neat      1260    root 1019u  sock        0,0             81880 can't identify

protocol
neat      1260    root 1023u  sock        0,0             82392 can't identify
protocol

Process 1260 is:
root      1260  0.0  2.8 22664 14724 ?       S    11:09   0:01 /usr/bin/python2.
