Samba 2.2.8a in our SLES 8 SP3 systems has a bad bug. Samba keeps running out of control and eating up CPU, meanwhile, customers access to the samba shares dies. When it happens, there appears to be waaaay too many samba processes spawned, yet only one of them is going bezerk according to "top". I've had level 3 samba logging turned on, but I'm not capturing anything that I can identify as the cause. I see some oplock messages, but those come in during good & bad times. The other thing I notice is there is typically a file or directory not found error in the log, too, prior to the bad behavior, although I don't see how that could be a cause.
Anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this?
