Is there also an abundance of sockets open, or just the files?

This doesn't seem to be happening for me; db 4.7, opendkim 2.1.0.Beta3,
FreeBSD 6.x, and I have only these after running overnight:

opendkim- 68767 msk 0u VCHR 0,6 0t0 6 /dev/null
opendkim- 68767 msk 1u VCHR 0,6 0t0 6 /dev/null
opendkim- 68767 msk 2u VCHR 0,6 0t0 6 /dev/null
opendkim- 68767 msk 3u IPv4 0xffffff0031583000 0t0 TCP localhost.blackops.org:8891 (LISTEN)
opendkim- 68767 msk 4u unix 0xffffff0017b304d0 0t0 ->0xffffff003d7a1268

opendkim- 68767 msk 9u PIPE 0xffffff00453ba000 16384 ->0xffffff00453ba158
opendkim- 68767 msk 10u PIPE 0xffffff00453ba158 0 ->0xffffff00453ba000

I'll try it with the newer db library.
