[Samba] Too many handles on this pipe

I wonder if there is any resolution to this problem.

I'm encountering similar situation with the Nashuatec DSC338 and P7325
printers from Ricoh using RPCS drivers.  After uploading those drivers
and performing basic printing preferences configuration, the print
server crashed and become inaccessible.

Here is the error from samba.log:
[2005/07/23 12:14:19, 0] rpc_server/srv_lsa_hnd.c:create_policy_hnd(110)
  create_policy_hnd: ERROR: too many handles (1025) on this pipe.

  cli_pipe: return critical error. Error was
NT_STATUS_INVALID_PIPE_STATE

Is there any workaround or patch?

Thanks,
