[Dovecot] Problem with ldap error logging

I configured dovecot to authenticate through ldap. When for some reason the
ldap server is not working dovecot writes this message to the system log:
dovecot: auth(default): accept(type 1) failed: Too many open files
"Too many open files" is caused by an openldap bug. The serious problem is
that dovecot repeats that message a huge number of times, something like 20000
times per second, until the ldap daemon starts working or, more likely, no more
disk space remains.
