      Github plugin creates and doesn't close thousands of github-polling.log filehandles, causing all builds to fail. Presents as "too many open files" error on attempting to open a file over the max open files limit, e.g.,

      Caused by: java.io.IOException: Too many open files

      or

      Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: [...] (Too many open files)

      Github Plugin Version: 1.8
