Login/auth processes see that file descriptor 5 is given to them, even if they don't want it. Two possibilities:
Dovecot master process opens a file and leaks it. Unlikely because it doesn't happen with me.
The process that starts Dovecot's master process leaks a file descriptor to Dovecot (some do it intentionally, eg. gdb). How do you start Dovecot? From normal shell?
In any case, none of this is checked unless you give --enable-debug option to configure, so recompiling without it would at least fix it..
