smbstatus reporting duplicate shares open

	In recent days we have been fighting a puzzling performance
degredation. The system is a Solaris 8 x86 box running the 2.2 CVS as of
September 6th. What we have been seeing are processes that take
approximately 2-3% of the CPU cycles opposed to the other smbd processes
taking up less than 1%. The errant processes show an interesting scenario
when looked at with smbstatus. The process has a single share open twice.
Below is an instance of what I see.

# smbstatus | grep 12211

	Is it normal to have these duplicates? We are really trying to
iron out the performace bugs, and this one is hurting us and I don't know
how the second instance is spawning or why if a second spawns why the
first does not go away.
