Getting a 'too many open files in system' on openBSD 6.8 with latest and greatest

support

Also happened with an older build of hugo. Updated just to make sure.

$ hugo env
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.80.0-DEV/extended openbsd/amd64 BuildDate: unknown
GOOS="openbsd"
GOARCH="amd64"
GOVERSION="go1.15.3"

running serve gets me:

$ hugo serve -w -b test.local:1313 --bind 192.168.13.7

also happens if I remove toCSS resource and reset module mounts to standard layout. Stopped httpd. fstat lists 310 open files.

ok! found the problem accidentally: tried to tar the directory just in case I mess something up and tar flagged some files as follows:

tar: Unable to read directory test/themes/GARGOIL/static/icons/social black#OnDisk.svg.sb-6d15a284-8gQlzB: Permission denied

removed it along with other editor cruft and it seems to be working again.
