In this case, it's our fault, not sambas.

Essentially, FreeMiNT only supports a maximum of 32 file handles. And 
samba reserves 20
for it's own internal use with the tdb files. That leaves us 12. Reduce 
that by the traditional
stdin/stdout/stderr, and we're left with 9. Not very many by todays 
standards.

I've got some in-progress patches to bump that to 128. Although we could 
go higher later.
