Comment # 3 on bug 1205577 from Stefan Dirsch

Hmm. I can't really reproduce this issue. My results

# rm *.c; for i in $(seq 1 2046); do echo "incluce <stdio.h>" > hello${i}.c;
done; makedepend *.c
# rm *.c; for i in $(seq 1 2047); do echo "incluce <stdio.h>" > hello${i}.c;
done; makedepend *.c
makedepend: error:  out of space: increase MAXFILES

So failing with 2047 and higher.
