</div>Isn't the real problem here that:<br>
- the program does not handle a resource limit very well (spewing lines<br>
saying they hit a limit rather then informing the user with one dialog<br>
what to increase)<br>
- that the program cannot work correctly with a default system limit<br>
that is sane for most other workloads.<br>
- that watching a file for changes is a feature that should have a<br>
manual option (aka a refresh button) or should at the very least be able<br>
to work within limits given to the program.<br>
