[Samba] gencache.tdb: device busy

This all should be based on the following issue:
 
https://www.illumos.org/issues/9959
 
As far as I understand the issue making an software fix in samba for the OS seems more reasonable since the problem can occur sporadic and thus again...
Could you tell me how to help to fix that bug?

Sorry, looks a little like the libc/pthread_mutex support
on Solaris is broken. You might want to raise this on a
Solaris/Illumos forum.
