Those are threads. Don't kill them.

Please show us a small, self-contained, compilable example of the problem. I 
have never heard of file descriptor leakage in Qt.

Those are pipes. They aren't related to QNAM, since QNAM doesn't use pipes.

It could be because of the threads. Each thread that you start consumes 2 file 
descriptors in the form of pipes (until Qt 5.1 or until a recent enough glib2 
in your system, then it's only one). But you said that the number of threads 
running was only 3, so that doesn't explain.
