[Samba] smbd's using up 100% of all cpu's and load avg slowly going up

[Sabuj Pattanayek]

I went into /proc/4122/fd and I see which log file it has open so I see
which client had it open, but running net status sessions | grep pidNum
doesn't show it, so it seems like smbd isn't being cleaned up properly?
