>Description:
After starting up amarok, the kern.openfiles value begins to rise, until it reaches the maximum value (on my system, 9500). I choose the 'serious' severity, because this can lead to system freeze (recoverable by killing amarok), and a wide range of problems: for instance, it can prevent ipfw from creating new dynamic rules. This is how it looks like on my computer:

>Unformatted:
 >>sysctl -a | grep openf
 kern.openfiles: 586 # this is the state before starting amarok
 << Mon Mar 15 03:19 PM>>
 >>sysctl -a | grep openf
 kern.openfiles: 610 # right after amarok is started
 << Mon Mar 15 03:20 PM>>
 >>sysctl -a | grep openf
 kern.openfiles: 834
 << Mon Mar 15 03:21 PM>>
 >>sysctl -a | grep openf
 kern.openfiles: 984
