I've tried to use sieve-filter for my inbox (~6000 messages). It failed after
some work with this backtrace:

sieve-filter(kas): Error: socketpair() failed: Too many open files
sieve-filter(kas): Panic: file script-client-local.c: line 155 (script_client_local_disconnect): assertion failed: (pid >= 0)
sieve-filter(kas): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x66a71) [0x7f020e717a71] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(default_fatal_handler+0x2a) [0x7f020e717ada] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x7f020e6d32ee] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/sieve/lib90_sieve_extprograms_plugin.so(+0x4baf) [0x7f020dae0baf] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/sieve/lib90_sieve_extprograms_plugin.so(+0x58ca) [0x7f020dae18ca] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/sieve/lib90_sieve_extprograms_plugin.so(script_client_fail+0x2f) [0x7f020dae199f] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/sieve/lib90_sieve_extprograms_plugin.so(script_client_run+0xc4) [0x7f020dae1fd4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/sieve/lib90_sieve_extprograms_plugin.so(+0x6134) [0x7f020dae2134] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(sieve_result_execute+0x3ac) [0x7f020ecd1adc] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(sieve_execute+0x4a) [0x7f020ece05aa] -> /usr/bin/sieve-filter(main+0x6a9) [0x403b49] -> /usr/lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_ma
 in+0xf5) [0x7f020e327bc5] -> /usr/bin/sieve-filter() [0x404111]

The reason is file descriptor leak in "script client local".
script_client_local_close_output() shutdowns write side of descriptor
and sets sclient->fd_out to -1, but never closes the descriptor.

I've tried to fix this by the patch below. Tests works fine, but sieve-filter
crashed in other way:

sieve-filter(kas): Panic: epoll_ctl(del, 13) failed: Bad file descriptor

I failed to unfold this in a reasonable time. Any ideas?
