[Samba] Winbind runs great for a while then dies with "read from socket
failed!"

All,
I have a strange intermittent problem with winbind (pam_winbind to be
specific)[I think!]. I have a Dell server with RH 7.3 preinstalled. I
have it successfully authenticating against a PDC with my pam_winbind.so
stuff in /etc/pam.d/system-auth.(auth sufficient
/lib/security/pam_winbind.so, etc.) All seems ok.
I've added the Apache mod_auth_pam module and set /etc/pam.d/httpd to
use system-auth for its authentication. IT ALL WORKS GREAT!(for a
while) Unfortunately, after a while, I'm not sure if its time related
or burden related, pam_winbind will begin rejecting logins and
/var/log/messages says: pam_winbind[29506]: read from socket failed!
It "feels" like it only dies after logging in from Apache, but I can't
be for sure. I've searched the 'net with Google and some mailing list
archives with little luck.
The 7.3 samba rpms are:
samba-2.2.7-1.7.3
samba-common-2.2.7-1.7.3
samba-client-2.2.7-1.7.3
The log file reads like so when it pukes:
Jan 6 08:44:13 svrname pam_winbind[25821]: user 'username' granted
acces
Jan 6 08:44:13 svrname pam_winbind[25819]: read from socket failed!
Jan 6 08:44:13 svrname pam_winbind[25819]: internal module error
(retval = 3, user = `username'
Jan 6 08:44:13 svrname httpd(pam_unix)[25819]: authentication failure;
logname= uid=48 euid=48 tty= ruser= rhost= user=username
The only way to get is working again is to restart winbind.
Can anyone explain to me what is going on? I think this config is ok,
because it works fantastic for a while. Is this a known bug? I'm
making huge leaps on getting Linux into my company, but I gotta get this
stable.
Thanks
