file descriptors

[Johannes Waldmann]

Dear all,

are there any known issues
with file handles/descriptors in ghc-compiled executables?

My program has a lot of calls to System.Process.runInteractiveProcess
and I'm running into unpredictable behaviour (sometimes the program
just silently dies, sometimes it gets stuck)

The handles I get correspond to file descriptors in the OS?
Could there be any conflicts? (Like not enough available,
or re-used to early etc.)

Or perhaps you see anything that's wrong with my code here
http://dfa.imn.htwk-leipzig.de/cgi-bin/cvsweb/box/src/SMT/Time.hs?rev=1.9
I'm compiling this with -threaded, but running with -N1.

Of course, terminateProcess is another source of uncertainty here.
(Sometimes it takes several seconds until the external process dies.)

Any hints appreciated. - J.W.
