[Samba] Memory leak in winbindd

[Noel Kelly]

I have been running the CVS code for SAMBA_2_2 (2.2.4 pre) from AM Tuesday
19th since last night.  We have not had one crash but unfortunately the
winbindd process over the fifteen hour period managed to consume 290Mb of
RAM!  

I have restarted now and will keep a closer eye on memory.

I've just fixed a bug in SAMBA_2_2 CVS that could cause winbindd
to core dump on a lookup name/sid returning SID_NAME_UNKNOWN.

If you could cvs checkout this branch and see if it fixes the
winbindd dying problem I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
