That's hitting a system limit; su to dbmail and run "ulimit -n" to see the current limit, probably 1024. Then try "ulimit -n 4096" or so before starting imapd ... or look at where your system sets those limits (eg. /etc/security/limits.conf on debian) and change it there (setting is "nofiles" in limits.conf).
With your wild and unusual memory growth, possibly there is a memory leak triggered by that failure not cleaning up something?
