Thanks for that Carlosan, there seems to be some misunderstanding about the problem, I don't know how I can be more clear with my explanation.

Installed the new Linux version (4.0.04A) and after running the program for around 3 or 4 hrs in the background, it has now opened 500 ports (files) which it has not closed.
Finding the number of opened ports (files) with the terminal command:
$ lsof -p 21359 |wc -l
With 21359 being the 3DCoat process ID.
At this rate 3DCoat will reach its limit of opened ports (files) in a few more hours and then 3DCoat won't be able to save or open anything and will probably crash.
THIS HAS TO BE FIXED

Just to understand, why does 3DC need more than one port (in the absence of incremental saves) ?
8 core 2.5 Xeon /12 gb RAM DX 64 Cuda / 560GTX-Ti. I always use the latest build.

When a program in Linux needs to access a file on the hard drive like a configuration file to read or write some data to it, the program opens a port (the file) then does the reading or/and writing to the file, then, when the program is finished with the file, it closes the port (the file). Ports (files) are opened and closed all the time by normally running programs, but if the program opens a port, gets an error because the file is inaccessible, but doesn't close the port, then tries to open it again, then you have a problem because the program may continue trying to open the file and not closing it. I think this is what is happening with 3DCoat. In Linux, everything is a file, even drivers.

So (in Linux or every OS) you should get an error message in the app if the file can't be opened?

Just have a look at the Mantis bug report and you may be enlightened.

sorry im asking this
chmod -R 777 /3DCfolder
doesnt help ?
I have made my 3DCoat installation directory and 3D-CoatV4 directory recursively rwx (777), this makes no difference at all, apparently 3DCoat is trying to access other files on my system which it is not allowed (doesn't have permission).

Hmmm i'm wondering if there is any possibility to close this ports manually. Probably there is bug in source, where file is not closed correctly, or 3D Coat have no permission to close ports once opened by it.
