Description Ben Millwood 2008-09-08 05:41:55 EDT 
When the filesystem runs out of file handles, it calls Com_Error with FS_HandleForFile: none free
This calls Sys_Error which calls Sys_ErrorDialog
...which calls FS_FOpenFileWrite to write a crashlog
...which calls Com_Error with FS_HandleForFile: none free
This continues until the binary segfaults.

My suggestion would be either using the stdio file calls to write crashlog.txt, or refusing to write it when in a recursive error. Both methods have their drawbacks of course but both are also better than the current behaviour, imo.

This is fixed in svn revision #1602.
