It simply happens. In one case if was there while it happened and smbstatus -b 
did not show this user at all, even if the application was running few seconds 
before . Does samba not detect that files are open if they are opened by a dos 
app ? ( I don't think there is any valid reason for this assumption ). 

The strange thing is also that it did not happen while I was logged in. I am a 
root user.
