Statement of Impact: Transfering several thousand files from Ubuntu to
Windows 7 will fail with the "Too many open files" message resulting in
the copying only half working.

How this has been addressed: This has been fixed in lucid and upstream
samba. I have verified that this has been fixed myself. i have attached
the patch which fixes this issue.

How to reproduce:

1. Install Windows 7 in a virtual machine
2. Install a Samba Share on ubuntu
3. Create many small files in a Windows folder try to copy it over to the samba share.

There should not be any regressions with this patch.
