Hi Tom,
We've just been investigating a similar issue and found a few threads that
led us to an Apple tech note regarding this.
It seems it's related to servers with less than 4GB RAM being searched by
clients over AFP.
You can find the Apple note here with a suggested fix (
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305167 )
And some of the threads here: -

Hope this helps
Dan
