 I'd suggest you report the problem(s) to redhat too, 
 especially since you paid the $$ for enteprise support.

You are nowhere near the system limit at the time of the crash, so I
guess you are running up to Samba's process open file limit (ulimit -n).
Why not try increasing it?  You might not be seeing a bug, just a nasty
spike in traffic caused by your applications.

File performance goes to heck and the number of open samba connections
never falls so we end up having to reboot the system. Client PCs end up
with out of memory crashes and other sperious errors.

Yes, that was the more likely outcome of trying to workaround with
ulimit... :-(

The fact that it eventually bombs the clients suggests it might be
originating there.  Have you looked for solutions from the ClearCase
end?

It might also be worth updating your RHEL system -- I think update 3 is
rather behind the times now.
