It seems that minidlna now tries to keep every directory open to
tell when there is a modification. My suggestion is to disable
inotify in /etc/minidlna.conf. E.g.

# set this to no to disable kqueue monitoring to automatically discover new files
# note: the default is yes
inotify=no

That fixed the problem for me.
