+CDB File Descriptor Leak Reproducer
+
+This script demonstrates the file descriptor leak in the cdbx library.
+It generates a CDB file every  seconds using random data, which will
+eventually exhaust file descriptors if the leak exists.
+
+Usage:
+    python fd_leak_reproducer.py output.cdb
+
+The script will:
+1. Generate random key-value pairs
+2. Write them to a CDB file using given method
+3. Repeat it couple of times
+4. Print file descriptor count to show the leak
