The CoreClients forgets to close the temporary files created by mkstemp in client/http_curl.C

Furthermore these file descriptors, as well as any open internet connections, are inherited by the applications. e.g. rosetta from Rosetta@home

It happens on any non-Windows platform. I already filed a BoincZilla bug (#410).

This happens for Mac OS X as well; any estimate on when we might see 5.2.7 for Mac OS X?

Not quite yet. The temporary file are gone, but the applications still have file descriptors of the network connections open:

I'm not seeing this problem on Mac OS X with 5.2.5. Only the temp files are being left open.

Any news on 5.2.7+ for Mac OS X? I have to manually restart boinc on my dual G5 every two days to keep from hitting this bug.

An idea: what if this network connection passing is because of displaying of graphics? I've built my own BOINC CC (also 5.2.13) without graphics and I don't see any network connection open by scientiffic applications, only by BOINC CC itself.

I don't have any graphical display on that machine.
Pleas note that there is only one open internet connection. netstat -p says the socket is connected tho the boinc CC. But lsof displays all processes, that have access to the connection. All applikation get a copy of the file descriptors open at the time of start and could send or receive messages. And they could accept new incoming connections.
