Yes, that is what is happening, I think. Exim is being clever and
caching open lsearch files in case there are further addresses in the
same domain. I can't do anything quickly, but I have made a note to see
if I can make it recover from "Too many open files" at some point in the
future. Or at least put a limit on the number of open files that it
caches.
