I can't find what I was looking for, but this was mentioned recently on LWN. Apparently it's down to naive usage of glibc ... :-( I think it was this article https://lwn.net/Articles/814535/ , you'll probably find it was blindly searching for a whole bunch of config files are those descriptors are dentries for files that don't exist.
