Max connections in Samba?



I have been running samba on a debian woody based server for a long time
now as a PDC.  Today, I finally ran into a problem where samba stopped
responding and the only way I found to fix it was to do a 'killall smbd'
and let the processes re-spawn.  Well, a couple hours later, the problem
came back.  Doing some google searching, I found one hit where someone
referenced the maximum number of connections in samba being 128.  I
checked and saw that there were 128 smbd processes running when it
stopped responding.

So, the question is, is there an easy way to up that number without
having to pull down the source package and recompile samba by hand?  (I
really prefer to have binary packages, just for ease of upgrading....)
I've been searching google, but so far my only hits have involved
recompiling.....any help will be greatly appreciated!
