[Samba] select() timeout on winbindd_privileged pipe

I have an issue where winbind will occasionally pause for 30 seconds.

Notice the chain of select() calls between 16:52:20 and 16:52:50 that
all timeout after 5 seconds for a total of 30 seconds!

The winbind log has the following error when this occurs:
[2008/04/18 16:52:20, 3] libsmb/clikrb5.c:ads_krb5_mk_req(593)
ads_krb5_mk_req: krb5_cc_get_principal failed (No credentials cache

The ads_krb5_mk_req function has a while loop that loops 3 times 'while
(!creds_ready && (i < maxtries))' (i=3D0, maxtries=3D3). This =
corresponds
with 3 requests to the kdc for info during the period of the pause:

I don't understand why the select call appears to continue to block even
though the Samba machine (192.168.1.210) gets a response from the
Windows server (maybe I'm just interpreting the data wrong??).

I used 'net ads -U username keytab create to generate my keytab file (it
looks good as far as I can tell). 'net cache list' also reveals several
entries. Klist also shows a default principal entry. I'm not sure why it
can't find a credentials cache.

I've upgraded my krb5 from 1.4.3 to 1.6.2 without effect. Here's version
info:
Samba 3.0.28 (3.0.25a and 3.0.25c also had this problem)
Linux 2.6.16 (x64)

At this point I have no idea how to fix this problem. I've read more
samba how-to's than I thought possible and checked the relevant config
files. Everything is working ok except for this pause. I've upgraded the
relevant software but the problem persists.
