Best would be simultaneously 3 traces:

Network trace

debug level 10 log of the smbd serving the client

strace of the smbd. strace is what I would use under Linux,
not 100% certain of that is the same under FreeBSD.
ktrace/kdump would probably be okay as well.

That might help to find why Samba does not close(2) the fd.

Maybe it would be best if you did the test for just a few
files, not 50.000 :-)
