Version: 4.5.10-1

Hi,

Trying to build linux-2.6/squeeze:

| dh_install -X.svn debian/patches/* '/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.32/debian'
| install debian/bin/patch.apply 'debian/linux-patch-debian-2.6.32/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.32/apply/debian'
| install debian/templates/patch.unpatch 'debian/linux-patch-debian-2.6.32/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.32/unpatch/debian'
| find 'debian/linux-patch-debian-2.6.32/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.32/debian' ! -path '*/series/*' -type f -execdir bzip2 '{}' ';' -execdir chmod 644 '{}.bz2' ';'
| find: Failed to save working directory in order to run a command on `drm-i915-rephrase-pread+pwrite-bounds-checking-to-avoid-potential-overflow.patch': Too many open files

It seems that "find -execdir" is not very frugal with file
descriptors.

Thanks for your work.
