One small observation: Based on Andrew's description, it sounds like
both affected sites might be able to temporarily work around their
problem by running smbd out of inetd, rather than as a standalone
daemon, on their production servers? That way you get a fresh smbd
process, which only ever parses the config file once, for each new
connection.

I use Samba 2.0.7 on Solaris 2.6 without problems, and it so happens
that I'm using inetd style, which might explain why I've not seen the
memory leak symptoms here.
