I have a client running a MacOSX 10.3.4 machine in an office that is
working off of of a Samba 3.0.4 file server.

The problem seems to affect certain files at random, but when it appears,
no one can save that file. The error "Too many files are open" appears.

There are windows machines in the office that have no problems.

Users are able to create files just fine, then another user can open it,
but can't make changes and save it (even though the file has full r/w
permissions and isn't being used by other users at the time).
I have also tried to delete temporary files created by word, but the
problem still occurs.

This error occurs in both Word X and Word 2004.

Any help would be great.
