[Samba] nmbd memory leak in 2.2.x CVS

[Noel Kelly]

I am running 2.2.6 on a customer's site and everything has been perfect.
However I noticed the other day that one of the two nmbd processes (it is a
wins server) had grown to 13Mb over a two week period.  

I needed to update to the latest CVS version anyway and had hoped that
something in that might fix things.  Five days later and things are looking
the same:

nmbd started on Nov 9th:
root      1271  0.0  0.2  3684 1456 ?        S    Nov09   0:10
/usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -o
root      1272  0.0  0.8  7100 4428 ?        S    Nov09   0:02
/usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -o

Today Nov 14th:
root      1271  0.0  0.2  3688 1460 ?        S    Nov09   0:21
/usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -o
root      1272  0.0  1.8 12376 9704 ?        S    Nov09   0:07
/usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -o


As you can see nmbd process 1271 has slowly gets larger.  I have tried
restarting after removing wins.dat but to no avail.

This is a PDC and the only server on a network with about ten XP clients.
'os level' is 65.  The log looks perfectly normal.

Anyone aware of the cause/solution or any suggestions to troubleshoot?  

Stumped,
Noel Kelly
