I think the mmaps are probably unrelated.

Do me a favor and save a backup copy of your old profile directory, so 
that you can reproduce the problem.

If you're willing to compile from source, you can work around the 
problem by opening ephy-profile-migrator.c, searching for 
EphyProfileMigrator migrators[], and then removing all the migrators 
other than migrate_bookmarks and migrate_bookmarks_timestamp... 
assuming the bug is not one of those migrators.

If you want to go above and beyond, you can "bisect" the problem by 
removing half the migrators and seeing if the problem goes away. If 
not, remove the other half of the migrators. That should narrow down 
the list of suspect migrators by half. Then do so again with the 
remaining suspect migrators, and repeat... it should only take a few 
steps to pinpoint exactly which migrator is causing the fd leak. Then 
we'll have a somewhat better chance of guessing what's wrong.
