Description Vitaliy Filippov 2012-03-11 14:08:27 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:10.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0
Build Identifier: 

When you try to load a project with very big number of directories (Bitrix PHP CMS is an example of such crap), KDevelop calls inotify for each of them and hangs if inotify hits the kernel handle could limit and starts to return ENOSPC error.
sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 helps.
But anyway, I think KDevelop shouldn't hang in that case.

Reproducible: Always
