Here's how you can send them a useful, researched, bug report:
Run mutt. Look in /proc/.../fd to see how many fds are open. Read a few
messages. Look in /proc/../fd to see how many new fds are listed there.
Repeat without the display_filter and see (?) that no new fds are listed.

If all goes according to expectations, send a bug report saying that
display_filter is leaking fds.

If you don't find leaks in this experiment, try "edge scenarios" which might
be causing leaks - e.g., try opening a large document and returning back
to the index after seeing only the first page. See which of these scenarios
is causing a leak, and send a bug report.
