[Samba] Too many handles on this pipe

[Hamish]

I removed and reinstalled samba 3.0.3pre2-SuSE on a SuSE 9.0 server in a 
failed attempt to upgrade to 3.0.5 (there were many cryptic dependancy 
errors, after a day with google, i gave up)
Everything seemed to work ok after the install (from suse rpms) but the 
logs are full of:

[datetime,0] rpc_server/srv_lsa_hnd.c:create_policy_hnd(111)
  create_policy_hnd: ERROR: too many handles (1025) on this pipe.

This is repeated around every 3 seconds.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
H
