ERROR: out of Policy Handles! in Samba 2.0.7

[Pedro Rodrigues]

   Hello! Indeed i never observed the problem with earlier 
Samba versions. I am studying Samba 2.2.0 and will test it 
this week when i have time. But i believe i will wait for 
2.2.1 in the end. My question is if these errors can affect 
people on the Terminal Server 4.0 machine in a visible way.


Regards,

Pedro
