I think this issue is not only about "too many open files". There are
other reasons why the database dump might fail (e.g. filesystem full).
The question is, if dumping the database is a vital part of mg and if
shutting down has any benefits?

Conditions, where the database can't be written might only be temporary
and do not or just partly affect the operation of milter-greylist. Hence
the stabilty of a mail system would profit if mg kept running.
