Problems with Samba Release 2.0.3

Hi

We have several UNIX (Solaris 2.6) servers which are running
Samba Release 1.9.18p10. Most of our users are working on
Winframe-Servers (Release 1.7).
We never had problems with our 1.9.18p10 configuration (and we have
~1200 users,
and each of them has several Samba-Shares!).

Currently I'm trying to migrate on of our Samba servers to release
2.0.3.
Now we have strange Error/Log messages in the log files. Here some
messages:

[1999/03/05 09:37:51, 0] smbd/files.c:(85)
  ERROR! Out of file structures

[1999/03/05 09:41:12, 0] smbd/open.c:(1079)
  open_directory: windata/netscape/cache/mv82j83d.gif is not a directory
!

[1999/03/05 10:27:28, 0] smbd/open.c:(1062)
  open_directory: unable to create windows/system. Error was File exists

[1999/03/05 11:02:40, 0] smbd/open.c:(1074)
  open_directory: unable to stat name = model/model. Error was No such
file or directory

[1999/03/05 11:21:00, 0] smbd/nttrans.c:(404)
  map_share_mode: Incorrect value 100000 for desired_access to file
\WINDATA\3270


Furthermore we have periodical messages in the Winframe system log:

"The redirector received an SMB that was too short."

Did anybody have similiar problems? Are these messages
just for information or is something really wrong.
Is there a new default log level in Samba 2.0.X?

Thanks for your help

Kind regards
Markus
