Re: [Dovecot] 1.1.6 -> 1.1.7 regression: dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files

There weren't amazing numbers of imap sessions open at the time (only something like 400-500; we've had 1.5k in the past), so I suspect this is a regression between 1.1.6 and 1.1.7 where you've got a leak of fd's ?

Sounds like a leak, but I doubt it was a regression. Probably you just hit a rare condition.

Yeah I've not seen it happen again since 23rd Dec...
