  [SRU] samba "Too many files are currently in use."

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: samba

  When copying a directory with a good amount of files (> 1,000) to a
  Samba share from a Windows 7 client, I get the error "Too many files
  are currently in use.". This only happens on Ubuntu Server 9.10 (Samba
  3.4.0) . I have tested on Ubuntu 9.04 (Samba 3.2.0) and the copy was
  successful.

  While copying the files, I ran watch 'sudo lsof | grep smb | wc -l'
  and noticed that whenever the number of files open reaches somewhere
  between 1,200 and 1,300 I receive the error. If I wait a couple of
  seconds, the number of files open drop down significantly and I am
  able to choose "Try Again" on the error dialog, but once the number of
  files open climbs back up, the error reappears.

  I am filling this as a bug because the copying of files works on a
  fresh install of 9.04, but fails on 9.10.
