I just noted that I ran into this before: http://www.dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2004-July/003964.html
For now, I bumped the 'open files' shell limit in the dovecot start script to 1024 (default was 64 which sounds a bit on the low side). Any ideas on how many concurrent open files a Dovecot instance needs?
