        While it's quite harmless, I notice you have oracle in samba's
        loader search path (LD_LIBRARY_PATH)

        Stdio opens smb.conf...

        and then /etc/printcap.

16598/1:         0.1902 read(7, " r i d g e b a c k | d o"..,
8192)     = 8192
16598/1:         0.1909

brk(0x0013AEC8)                                 = 0

        and it goes and calls brk 32,084 times.
        It starts at virtual address 0x00138EC8, and
        runs up to 0x07EAEEC8, at time=8.8897 sec, for
        an allocated memory [heap] size increase
        of 0x7D76000 bytes, 131,555,328 bytes.

        131 Meg for (many) printers...

	This sure looks like a possible problem (;-))
