I did a restart of winbind and looked at the fds under the saslauthd processes. It didn't change. Both winbind and saslauthd must be restarted as the workaround. Restarting winbind closes only the streams reported as /var/run/samba/winbindd_privileged/pipe . Developers would likely expect this, but I mention it here in case it might help others caught by the issue.
