[Dovecot] Dovecot and SUSE 10: inotify_init()

[damien chambe - EGS]

Hello all,

Since my migration to SUSE SLES 10, I have a new error message :

dovecot1 dovecot: IMAP(damien.chambe at egs-gestion.fr): inotify_init()
failed: Too many open files

It seems to occurs when thunderbird is idle, or when I click on sub folders
I have a ulimit for open files a bit low, 1024

I have changed to 4096, but same error message.

It has no visible consequences. I am on dovecot 1.0.1
I don't think it is related to dovecot config, any idea ?
