[Samba] Too many handles on this pipe

[Hamish]

OK, I have managed to find the culprit for the

[2004/09/21 16:43:01, 0] rpc_server/srv_lsa_hnd.c:create_policy_hnd(111)
 create_policy_hnd: ERROR: too many handles (1025) on this pipe.

error messages, to find this I changed the log file = samba.log.%m to 
get the machine name, and watched for the huge file.

It turns out that this is my 2k3 server, I have no idea why it would be 
doing this, as there is nothing special that i can think of that the 2k3 
box does.

If anyone wants logs etc please ask, i'm stumped!

Thanks,

H

EDIT: just for a laugh, i rejoined the domain, there have been no more 
of these messages! I will report again tomorrow...
