No. There's a leak somewhere. Could you check what file

lsof -p <pid> or look into /proc/pid/fd/ directly. If it's leaking it
should show at least tens of opened files. Once I know what files it's not closing it's easier for me to fix this.I'm still getting "Too many open files" with 1.0rc14 on NetBSD with kqueue; when this happens, lsof says there are over 1000 pipes
open. Is this addressed in 1.0rc15? If not, what can I do to help it be
addressed before 1.0?I guess it's "dovecot" process that's leaking those fds? Does the
number of used fds grow every time you login+logout?
Yes, it's the "dovecot" process. With a very quick-and-dumb test
(quitting and reopening Mail.app) it seems to have more open pipes
each time.
I tried debugging this with one FreeBSD and one NetBSD, but I
couldn't reproduce it. What NetBSD version are you using?
This is on NetBSD 2.0.2. (If I could upgrade, I would, but I can't,
so I won't. :-)
