[Samba] Too many handles on this pipe

[Hamish]

Hi Jerry
The samba server is 3.0.7-SuSE from suse rpms, running on suse 9.0. It 
is running in domain member mode, auth against w2k3 server with winbind. 
It is just a file/print server, with nothing too fancy about it.
Is there a way to find out which client is causing it?
Thanks,
Hamish
