[Dovecot] 1.0alpha1: too many open files

[Jeff A. Earickson]

Help...

Dovecot 1.0alpha1 hung up today with nothing working and
the following spewing to my syslog:

pipe() failed: Too many open files

My setup: Solaris 9, just using imap, mbox format.  The 
various "max" settings in dovecot.conf use the defaults. 
Suggestions on what to change in fovecot.conf to keep this 
from happening?
