FWIW, I've stopped using dovecot's kqueue code quite some time ago because it would leak one fd almost every login, leading to the
kind of situation you experience. I wish I had the time to debug that, but unfortunately...

I thought this happened only with older NetBSDs. I tested it myself
once with 3.0 (or 3.1?) and I couldn't get it to leak.

But yes, with some NetBSD versions it does leak one pipe per each
died process because kqueue doesn't notice that the pipe was closed
by the other side and give an event, or something like that.

I am guessing that OpenBSD is affected in the same way?
