If you look at winbind in Samba HEAD, you will see that I'm in the process of
getting it as non-blocking as possible. Currently winbind is strictly
serialized, in the future it will be able to have multiple requests
outstanding. A single request however might be blocked by a broken or
overloaded Windows DC. No idea what I should do then. Is there a RX error
message "I'm working on it, come back later" or something like that?
