The data structures are wrong. We have this horrid "POLICY_HND"
datastructure (yes I know where it came from - why is the name 
"POLICY" in it, that's not what it is... but I digress :-) that
needs to be changed to a type-specific handle (SAMR_HND, LSA_HND
etc. etc.) and the client connection needs to be changed to have
a DLIST of pipes associated with it, each of which has a DLIST
of currently open handles.

It's not your fault, it's just crufty oldish code.

Jeremy.
