smbd keeps maxing out the cpu, must reboot server constantly

This is running in vmware, and I noticed occasionally wmware reports
that the cpu is being maxed out by a virtual machine. Logging into the
virtual machine and running top confirms that the smbd process is maxing
out the cpu. If I leave it alone for a while, eventually it starts
dropping connections and not letting people into the file server.
Killing the process with kill -9 does no good, it just immediately comes
back with a new pid. Stopping the service also does no good. I have
to reboot the server, and occasionally even during the shutdown it will
hang (I left it for 30 minutes) and I have to kill the power.
I tried collecting logs from the time the max out started. The computer
will run for a while, sometimes less than an hour, sometimes all day,
just fine, and then in less than a second the cpu goes from around 10%
to 100% and stays there until I reboot. But the default logs tell me
nothing and the level 10 logs are Greek to me.

PS. Earlier this morning I switched to level 10 logs and when the "max
out" happened I checked the time in the VMWare performance graphs. It
looks like it happened around 9:26:40 to 9:27:20. Here are the VERY
LONG grep results for around that time in the logs:
sudo grep "2007/01/04 09:26" /var/log/samba/*
