And what kind of remote are you copying the files to? It would be helpful if you could be more specific about something I could do to reproduce the problem. Without a test case, I am unlikely to fix the bug. With a test case, I'd be surprised if it took long to fix it. If you have a process running that is experiencing the problem, you can also narrow it down a *lot* by looking at what these leaking pipe file descriptors are pipes to. For example, if you have: lr-x------ 1 michael michael 64 Aug 10 20:14 895 -> pipe:[2251602] You can run `find /proc/ -ls 2251602` and find the process at other end of the pipe, and look its pid up in ps to see what command it is.
