connections.tdb keeps getting corrupted. v2.2.1a

[Tim Villa]

I'm getting:

claim_connection: traverse of connections.tdb failed with error Locking error.

for 2.2.1a compiled for Solaris 8.  Contact me if you need further 
details.  Symptoms are mainly the spawning of MANY smbd's which don't die 
regardless of dead time/keepalive settings.
