Not sure. There's a few things you could do to investigate:
* Run the recovery TAP tests. Do you reproduce the buildfarm failure
in your hand build? If not, we need to ask what's different.
* If you do reproduce it, run those tests at debug2, just to confirm
the theory that already_open is higher than normal. (The easy way
to make that happen is to add another line to what PostgresNode.pm's
init function is adding to postgresql.conf.)
* Also, try putting a pg_usleep call just before the error in fd.c,
to give yourself enough time to manually point "lsof" at the
postmaster and see what all its FDs are.
