I would prefer just to correctly handle the multiple outstanding
authentication requests.  But this is only an issue if 'use spnego =
yes', as otherwise authentication occurs on a single packet context, and
should already handle a 'backlog'.  (As is seen when people do things
like aim the squid smb-based ntlm helpers at us, with 1000's of session
setups...).

In any case, I'm looking to write a torture test for Samba4, to recreate
the issue there, and from those results we might be able to fix 3.0 (it
is harder to do in 3.0 than in 4, due to more complex code).
