Is that right? ... If so, then this was where the "Too many open
files" problem arose in an earlier thread (the stdio library on
Solaris defaulting to only allow 256 descriptors, or something).
I don't remember anymore what that problem was about. Dovecot itself doesn't use stdio, so it was some library doing it internally. Was it passwd lookup doing that? In that case blocking=yes would help nowadays.
