I've seen this before -- did you compile Samba 64-bit? Is your Solaris
7 64-bit?

I've seen this happen when a 32-bit Samba daemon has more than 256
files open and then calls fopen to open the log file. The error
message is very misleading.

If 'isainfo -v' returns

64-bit sparcv9 applications
32-bit sparc applications

You can build a 64-bit samba.

For Sun's Forte compiler

CC=cc; export CC                      # setenv CC     cc           for csh
CFLAGS='-xarch=v9a'; export CFLAGS    # setenv CFLAGS '-xarch=v9a' for csh
./configure --localstatedir=/var/samba

For GCC 3.x or better

CC=gcc; export CC                     # setenv CC     gcc
CFLAGS='-m64'; export CFLAGS          # setenv CFLAGS '-m64'
./configure --localstatedir=/var/samba
