It showed a similar behavior as what is stated in the bugzilla, increasing the limit just made it take a bit longer to fail loading the roaming profile, but in the end it failed.


No, it's not a magic number. Windows servers (via smbtorture testing)
allow 16384 (16*1024) open handles before refusing opens. Then we add
20 (which I'll admit is a fudge factor) to allow for open tdb files.
