IPC error during Windows ME relogin

I'm running samba 2.0.7 on a Mandrake 7.1 system (with their secure
2.2.16-9 kernel). It's working very well, except for my Windows ME
users. They can login exactly once (we're using the Samba server as a
PDC for all the Win9x users). If they login again, I get this error in
log.smb:
[2000/10/02 09:22:13, 0] locking/shmem_sysv.c:sysv_shm_open(667)
Can't create or use IPC area. Error was File exists
[2000/10/02 09:22:13, 0] locking/locking.c:locking_init(174)
ERROR: Failed to initialise share modes
I can solve the problem by restarting the Samba daemon, but as you can
imagine I don't want to do this for every 2nd login they make. Does
anyone have some insight?
