Claude Code macOS File Descriptor Crash Fix: find Command in Bash Tool Could Exhaust System vnode Table and Crash Host on Large Directory Trees

Claude Code Docsmedium signal

Claude Code v2.1.149 fixed a critical macOS-specific bug where the find command executed via the Bash tool could exhaust the system file/vnode table on large directory trees, crashing the entire host machine — not just the Claude Code process. This is particularly relevant for developers running Claude Code against monorepos or projects with deeply nested node_modules. The fix limits file descriptor consumption. If you've experienced unexplained macOS crashes during Claude Code sessions involving file searches, update to v2.1.149+. This also reinforces why RTK's token-optimized find replacement is valuable beyond just token savings.
