        <pre>I'm using WebKitGtk+ with my own JHBuild setting:
<a href="https://github.com/tanty/jhbuild-epiphany/tree/wkgtk-devel">https://github.com/tanty/jhbuild-epiphany/tree/wkgtk-devel</a>

Epiphany 3.18.0 and WebKit 2.10.3

I'm running Epiphany with the dconf key:

&quot;process-model&quot; = &quot;shared-secondary-process&quot;

The compilation was done with CMake args:

'-DPORT=GTK -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DDEVELOPER_MODE=ON -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS_DEBUG=&quot;-O0 -g1&quot; -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG=&quot;-O0 -g1&quot;'

---

Time ago, using

&quot;process-model&quot; = &quot;one-secondary-process-per-web-view&quot;

I reported the following bug for epiphany:
<a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728352">https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728352</a>

Basically, I was unable to use this process model because it was using too many file handlers.

Today, using:

&quot;process-model&quot; = &quot;shared-secondary-process&quot;

Eventually, one of the tabs failed to load. No SIGSEVs nor any kind of crashes. This is what I see in the error output:

...
Failed to create shared memory file /WK2SharedMemory.2347425006: Too many open files
Failed to create shared memory file /WK2SharedMemory.2078275081: Too many open files
Failed to create shared memory file /WK2SharedMemory.2879760070: Too many open files
Failed to create shared memory file /WK2SharedMemory.3712558436: Too many open files
Failed to create shared memory file /WK2SharedMemory.3835635806: Too many open files
Failed to create shared memory file /WK2SharedMemory.4122325227: Too many open files
Failed to create shared memory file /WK2SharedMemory.1002315265: Too many open files
...

This continues for a long, long output.

After a while, eventually, the WebProcess SIGSEVed with <a class="bz_bug_link 
          bz_status_NEW "
   title="NEW - [GTK] WebProcess from WebKitGtk+ 2.10.x SIGSEVs on WTF::cryptographicallyRandomValuesFromOS"
   href="show_bug.cgi?id=150899">bug 150899</a>. Maybe these 2 things are unrelated. I don't know.

In any case, it seems clear that, even in &quot;shared-secondary-process&quot;, WKGTK+ is using too many file descriptors.</pre>
