Samba and Out Of Connection Structures on Solaris (again)

He's getting 
Samba.log:
[2002/01/09 12:37:31, 1] smbd/conn.c:(104)
  ERROR! Out of connection structures
[2002/01/09 12:37:31, 0] smbd/service.c:(325)
  Couldn't find free connection.

This is on Solaris 8, 64-bit, with the rlim_fd_cur=2048 and
rlim_fd_max=8192 and the fd's per process to 51200 via plimit,
which has set the system limits properly.

We use getrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE,...), which seems to return
    rlim_cur = 256U
    rlim_max = 1024U
with the default rlimit: 10010 file descriptors

Suggestion to Mr Jans: print the values with DEBUG
found in 
  File           Function        Line
2 util.c         set_maxfiles    1516 if(getrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE,


This may be a Solaris issue, or a bug in the logic
that sizes samba's file bitmap. If it's the former,
I can officially report it.
