Hi

I am testing a module that opens a large number of files as input,
large being in thousands.

the 513th file is doing well individually, however the module just
cannot read it (and subsequent ones).

----------------------------------------------
ERROR: Unable to open input file
       </home/yann/GRASSDATA/RR/PERMANENT/cell_misc/rain_0512/f_format>
----------------------------------------------

is it a file limit for opening files in GRASS?
If yes, can it be enlarged to 10000+?

Thank you,
Yann
