Dear Maintainer, feh prints some warnings to stderr if inotify_init() fails: feh WARNING: inotify_init failed: Too many open files feh WARNING: Disabling inotify-based auto-reload I reported a related crash here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1034121 But I consider the warnings to be problematic too. A program shouldn't print a warning relating to an optional feature that I did not specifically enable, based on a function that must be expected to "randomly" fail (due to its reliance on an extremely limited resource shared with unrelated programs: by default, each user has a limit of 128 inotify instances). It is also unclear from the text whether auto-reloading was disabled, or remains operational via some non-inotify fallback. The program's manual page is similarly ambiguous. I don't see any fallback in the code. - Michael
