I just tried a kernel from June, 1st: esd doesn't leak any file
descriptors. So it's definitely a CURRENT problem.

I couldn't spot anything suspicous using ktrace (That is no notable
difference compared to the other machine).

Here are two excerpts from kdump output that basically repeat all the
time:

1262 esd      RET   read 4096/0x1000
1262 esd      CALL  write(0x8,0x8059000,0x1000)
1262 esd      GIO   fd 8 wrote 4096 bytes
...
1262 esd      RET   write 4096/0x1000
1262 esd      CALL  gettimeofday(0xbfbfe598,0)
1262 esd      RET   gettimeofday 0
1262 esd      CALL  select(0xa,0xbfbfe510,0,0,0xbfbfe508)
1262 esd      RET   select 1
1262 esd      CALL  accept(0x7,0xbfbfe580,0xbfbfe528)
1262 esd      RET   accept -1 errno 35 Resource temporarily unavailable
1262 esd      CALL  select(0xa,0xbfbfe4f0,0,0,0xbfbfe478)
1262 esd      RET   select 1
1262 esd      CALL  read(0x9,0x805c000,0x1000)
1262 esd      GIO   fd 9 read 4096 bytes
