Using GitPython==0.3.2.RC1 with Python 2.7.1 on a Fedora 15 with "/etc/security/limits.conf" nproc set to 25000 for the user running the test.

After repetitive calls to different repositories using git.GitCmdObjectDB, the system resources decrease reaching a "OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files" exception.

This does not happen with the default odbt (gitdb).

Digging into the problem, lsof outputs lots of "pipe" processes. Possibly, the calls to git command using subprocess modure aren't properly deallocated.

Is this a bug?

Thanks,
