[Samba] select() timeout on winbindd_privileged pipe

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

# strace -T -t ls -l /share
16:52:20 read(4, "/var/lib/samba/winbindd_privileg"..., 35) = 35
<0.000009>
16:52:20 lstat("/var/lib/samba/winbindd_privileged",
{st_mode=S_IFDIR|0750, st_size=72, ...}) = 0 <0.000011>
16:52:20 lstat("/var/lib/samba/winbindd_privileged/pipe",
{st_mode=S_IFSOCK|0777, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 <0.000011>
16:52:20 socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 5 <0.000011>
16:52:20 fcntl(5, F_GETFL)              = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR) <0.000006>
16:52:20 fcntl(5, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0 <0.000007>
16:52:20 fcntl(5, F_GETFD)              = 0 <0.000006>
16:52:20 fcntl(5, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)  = 0 <0.000006>
16:52:20 connect(5, {sa_family=AF_FILE,
path="/var/lib/samba/winbindd_privileged/pipe"}, 110) = 0
<0.000018>
16:52:20 close(4)                       = 0 <0.000011>
16:52:20 select(6, [5], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 0 (Timeout) <0.000007>
16:52:20 write(5,
"(\10\0\0\4\0\0\0d\20\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 2088)
2088 <0.000011>
16:52:20 select(6, [5], NULL, NULL, {5, 0}) = 0 (Timeout) <4.997279>
16:52:25 select(6, [5], NULL, NULL, {5, 0}) = 0 (Timeout) <4.999895>
16:52:30 select(6, [5], NULL, NULL, {5, 0}) = 0 (Timeout) <4.999885>
16:52:35 select(6, [5], NULL, NULL, {5, 0}) = 0 (Timeout) <4.999914>
16:52:40 select(6, [5], NULL, NULL, {5, 0}) = 0 (Timeout) <4.999891>
16:52:45 select(6, [5], NULL, NULL, {5, 0}) = 0 (Timeout) <4.999916>
16:52:50 select(6, [5], NULL, NULL, {5, 0}) = 1 (in [5], left {4,
968000}) <0.033682>
16:52:50 read(5, "\354\f\0\0\2\0\0\0STARTREK-phx_api_release"...,
3240)
= 3240 <0.000014>

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
found)
[2008/04/18 16:52:50, 4] libsmb/clikrb5.c:ads_krb5_mk_req(610)
  ads_krb5_mk_req: Advancing clock by 13 seconds to cope with clock skew
[2008/04/18 16:52:50, 3] libsmb/clikrb5.c:ads_cleanup_expired_creds(528)
  ads_cleanup_expired_creds: Ticket in ccache[MEMORY:winbind_ccache]
expiration Fri, 18 Apr 2008 17:13:03 MST

The ads_krb5_mk_req function has a while loop that loops 3 times 'while
(!creds_ready && (i < maxtries))' (i=0, maxtries=3). This
corresponds
with 3 requests to the kdc for info during the period of the pause:

16:52:20.839894 IP 192.168.1.210.32891 > 192.168.1.207.88:  v5
16:52:20.840419 IP 192.168.1.207.88 > 192.168.1.210.32891:
16:52:30.837599 IP 192.168.1.210.32891 > 192.168.1.207.88:  v5
16:52:30.838482 IP 192.168.1.207.88 > 192.168.1.210.32891:  v5
16:52:40.837652 IP 192.168.1.210.32891 > 192.168.1.207.88:
16:52:40.838606 IP 192.168.1.207.88 > 192.168.1.210.32891:

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.

You are tracing the client.  But the log only shows the
parent winbindd process.  I would check the child processes
because I'll bet you have more traffic that will
illuminate what is going on in those logs.

ls -l would do a lot of uid/gid -> SID translation and
LookupSid calls.
