smbd chewing cpu on DU 4.0e

[Rob Naccarato]

I'm still having some problems with 1.9.18p10 on a DEC Unix 4.0e
machine (this machine was upgraded from 4.0d last week).  The smbds can
take up to 20% of the cpu at various times.

Anyways, I've been through all this before with the mailing list and a
number of people who have attempted to help me out.  Thanks to all of you.
But, I have some more info which may or may not be useful.

Today I decided to try a debug level = 99 and see what happens.
In most of the log files (per machine) I get a lot of entries like this:

is_in_path: .
is_in_path: no name list.
is_in_path: ..
is_in_path: no name list.
is_in_path: Start Menu
is_in_path: no name list.
is_in_path: USER.DA0
is_in_path: no name list.
is_in_path: Desktop
is_in_path: no name list.
is_in_path: Nethood
is_in_path: no name list.
is_in_path: Recent
is_in_path: no name list.
is_in_path: USER.DAT
is_in_path: no name list.
is_in_path: prof.dat
is_in_path: no name list.
is_in_path: Favorites
is_in_path: no name list.
is_in_path: corel8
is_in_path: no name list.
...

This goes on and on and it does repeat a number of times throughout the
log. I ran with debug level =99 for only about 3 minutes. I have looked at
the source and I can't exactly figure out what's going on here.

Could this be the cause of my cpu woes?

BTW, there was an issue a while ago on the list regarding an "infinite"
loop problem on DEC Unix when Samba is trying to figure out a user's group
membership.  Has this been addressed?  Are there patches available?

Looking forward to 2.0.0...
