samba - Nov 2024 - tdb_expand overflow detected

Hello,

I'm using samba416-4.16.11 on FreeBSD 14.1 (on ZFS, in a jail, with quotas
on those filesystems, etc)

I'm seeing these entries in my logs. Is this something which needs action? 
If not, I'll start ignoring them.

Nov 11 19:00:45 tm samba-dcerpcd[7373]: [2024/11/11 19:00:45.852391,  0]
../../lib/tdb_wrap/tdb_wrap.c:65(tdb_wrap_log)
Nov 11 19:00:45 tm samba-dcerpcd[7373]:   tdb(/var/db/samba4/gencache.tdb):
tdb_expand overflow detected current map_size[4294967295] size[128]!

Thank you.

The following is just one of the 343,930 log entries over a one hour period
(about 95 messages per second).

Nov 18 12:00:00 tm smbd[70983]: [2024/11/18 12:00:00.027823,  0]
../../lib/tdb_wrap/tdb_wrap.c:65(tdb_wrap_log)
Nov 18 12:00:00 tm smbd[70983]:   tdb(/var/db/samba4/gencache.tdb): tdb_expand
overflow detected current map_size[4294967295] size[128]!

This appears to be a "Generic caching database for dead WINS servers and
trusted domain data." [1]. The same references says
"TDB_CLEAR_IF_FIRST means that Samba clears the TDB on each first open (for
example after a reboot). * will be only cleaned (truncated) if file is
corrupt"

I restarted samba. The file size did not change - conclusion: it is not corrupt.

My first guess to solve this issue:

* shutdown samba
* remove the file (/var/db/samba4/gencache.tdb)
* start samba

However, that doesn't seem to solve the problem. It's just making it go
away until it grows again.

Advice please?
