Doing some testing for my PePr project [1] I noticed that preload cannot handle
more than ~1000 files. This is because it opens the files, but never closes
them. Stracing preload showed it had over 1000 open filedescriptors and just
couldn't open any more!

I know and I even told Matz, but now it's also fixed in SVN. Thanks for 
reminding
