[Opensim-users] _wapi_handle_unref error messages

[Marcus Llewellyn]

It is possible that it's Mono that's glitching here, and not OpenSim. I 
ran into wapi error a long time ago. I don't remember specifics at this 
point, and I don't know if what worked for me will solve your problem, 
but you can give it a whirl.

Mono's wapi uses actual files to keep track of the file handles. These 
are typically stored in $HOME/.wapi and on rare occasions a file in 
there can misbehave. So long as you make sure you're not currently 
running any Mono applications that may be using that .wapi directory, it 
is safe to go in there and simply delete all of the contents. Taking 
that action cleared up the wapi errors I encountered.
