[Opera-Linux] Here's something else unusual

I save images (RightClick->Save Image) in a directory that symlinks back
to my hard drive (I run most things out of an SSD and also have a larger
hard drive in my laptop for saved files).

So, during my daily "lsof" on Opera, I've been noticing this:

$ sudo lsof -p 15665 | fgrep /hd-disk/opera-images
opera   15665 kenny   21r   DIR                8,3   835584        13 /hd-disk/opera-images
opera   15665 kenny   24r   DIR                8,3   835584        13 /hd-disk/opera-images
opera   15665 kenny   79r   DIR                8,3   835584        13 /hd-disk/opera-images
opera   15665 kenny   80r   DIR                8,3   835584        13 /hd-disk/opera-images
opera   15665 kenny   81r   DIR                8,3   835584        13 /hd-disk/opera-images
opera   15665 kenny   82r   DIR                8,3   835584        13 /hd-disk/opera-images
<snip>
opera   15665 kenny  168r   DIR                8,3   835584        13 /hd-disk/opera-images
opera   15665 kenny  169r   DIR                8,3   835584        13 /hd-disk/opera-images
opera   15665 kenny  170r   DIR                8,3   835584        13 /hd-disk/opera-images
opera   15665 kenny  171r   DIR                8,3   835584        13 /hd-disk/opera-images
opera   15665 kenny  172r   DIR                8,3   835584        13 /hd-disk/opera-images
opera   15665 kenny  173r   DIR                8,3   835584        13 /hd-disk/opera-images
opera   15665 kenny  174r   DIR                8,3   835584        13 /hd-disk/opera-images
opera   15665 kenny  175r   DIR                8,3   835584        13 /hd-disk/opera-images
opera   15665 kenny  176r   DIR                8,3   835584        13 /hd-disk/opera-images
$

(Where "/hd-disk/opera-images" is the actual destination the symlink that
my "Save to" directory in the Advanced Preferences points to).

There were a lot of 'em,  so I counted them:

$ sudo lsof -p 15665 | fgrep /hd-disk/opera-images | wc -l
63
$

Yeah, 63 open instances of a single directory can't be right. Let me
try using the actual directory in the Opera prefs and restart and see
if that changes anything.
