SAMBA_2_2 creates huge connections.tdb

[root]

i posted something about this before, but heard nothing back. i have an
OpenBSD server that seems to do something like dumping core fairly
frequently. for whatever reason, connections.tdb will suddenly begin to
grow at about 1.1MB/s until it consumes all available disk space. below
are the machine's dmesg and smb.conf.  (/dist is mounted read-only)

i thought that this might be related to the os (i first noticed it on an
hp/ux machine) or the version of code (snapshot tarball versus cvs grab)
but it's not. both hp/ux and openbsd display this behaviour.

suggestions?
