I've been running it on Solaris 7 and 8. This is a new one on me --
I've only seen this on 32-bit Samba.

Do you have max open files set? or is it the default (10000)?

Is this indeed a 64-bit samba? That is, does 'file smbd' show

/usr/local/samba/bin/smbd:      ELF 64-bit MSB executable SPARCV9 Version 1, UltraSPARC1 Extensions Required, dynamically linked, not stripped

Just because it calls fopen64 doesn't mean that it is a 64-bit
application. 32-bit applications can call fopen64.

>From the lfcompile64 man page:

     The transitional compilation  environment  exports  all  the
     explicit 64-bit functions (xxx64()) and types in addition to
     all the regular functions (xxx()) and types. Both xxx()  and
     xxx64()  functions  are  available to the program source.
                                                                A
     32-bit application must use the xxx64() functions  in  order
     to  access  large  files.


                                See the lf64(5) manual page for a
     complete listing of the 64-bit transitional interfaces.


Also, in the "Solaris 64-bit Developer's Guide", under "Advanced
Topics: What's New For Applications"

Changes to stdio

In the 64-bit environment, the stdio facility has been extended to
allow more than 256 streams to be open simultaneously. The 32-bit
stdio facility continues to have a 256 streams limit.

Some other document tells you that the number of streams is 65536 but
I can't seem to find it right now.
