Hello all, Thanks for reading this! You won't be disapointed. To the point! In db.c in the function void index_boot(int mode) the function does NOT have fclose(index) at the end!!! Please add this as the last function call to index_boot. Why? When circle boots and doesn't close these files you loose two files descriptors (some unix os's can only have but so many open at a time) and second if you want to do anything other than just read (i.e. oasis uses rename() ) then you can't due to access denied. Could this be added to the next circle release and also added to a general patch or something? It gave me a headache for the past day with oasis renaming index files for new zones and i only found it by accident. Thank you have a nice day! Christopher M.
