[GRASS-dev] [BUG] or at least unclear error message

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

OS: OS X, El Capitan, grass installed via homebrew.

I have a mega location with 532 read-only mapsets with each around 2500 mapsets
(plus PERMANENT and an read-write analysis mapset).

When using g.list type=rast mapset=* I get the following error: "Unable
to open directory". I guess this is caused by to many open files as I
can execute the command g.list type=rast mapset=... for this mapset
without problems.

(transcript below)

Is this the case? Could the error message be clarified (I fear not) or a
different approach be used to list the maps?

Thanks,

Rainer
