Running any program with valgrind , I get : $ valgrind ls valgrind: m_libcfile.c:73 (vgPlain_safe_fd): Assertion 'newfd >= VG_(fd_hard_limit)' failed. ==11556== at 0xF00A974D: ??? ==11556== by 0xF00A98E1: ??? ==11556== by 0xF00AA7E2: ??? ==11556== by 0xF00AE970: ??? ==11556== by 0xF00B03D7: ??? ==11556== by 0xF00B3B3C: ??? ==11556== by 0xF012F7F2: ??? sched status: running_tid=0 Note: see also the FAQ in the source distribution. It contains workarounds to several common problems. In particular, if Valgrind aborted or crashed after identifying problems in your program, there's a good chance that fixing those problems will prevent Valgrind aborting or crashing, especially if it happened in m_mallocfree.c. If that doesn't help, please report this bug to: www.valgrind.org In the bug report, send all the above text, the valgrind version, and what OS and version you are using. Thanks. My environment: valgrind 533 $ uname -a Darwin potian-pro.local 9.7.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.7.0: Tue Mar 31 22:52:17 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1228.12.14~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 gcc -v Using built-in specs.

Can you rerun using 'valgrind -v -d' ? Also, it would be helpful if you could add a VG_(printf)() call just before the failing assertion, in order to print out the values of newfd and VG_(fd_hard_limit). Thanks.
Oops - closed wrong bug.
I marked this as blocking3.5.0, but since the reporter hasn't responded with the requested information, and nobody else has reported the problem, I'm downgrading it to wanted3.5.0. If we don't hear back by the time 3.5.0 is released, I think we should close it as NEEDSINFO.
Closing as NEEDSINFO as 3.5.0 has been and gone with no further information supplied.
This bug is a duplicate of bug #288363 (or the contrary). Since this one is closed I cannot mark it as such.
Closing as Worksforme due to inactivity for more than 15 days as per: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Bug_triaging#Policies Fanis
