I am also experiencing an increased file descriptors usage on a server
with several hundreds of users (running debian sarge amd64) since I'm
using rc15. rc17 did not fix the problem. The server was formerly
running fine with beta8.
The problem is that when the file descriptors limit is reached, dovecot
stops responding to new connections or responds strangely (thunderbird
says that the server is not an imapV4 server) but nothing is logged
anywhere. The only fix is a restart.
