Massive number of processes bringing system to a halt.

Dear All,
I'm running SAMBA 2.0.5a on a Sun 450 running Solaris 7. In the past I've had an occasional
problem with processes running amok and causing the server to grind to a halt, which I've put
down to network glitches as they seemed to coincide with problems on the network. But today
I've had 3 instances where the number of smbd processes has just steadily increased until
nothing at all can run and even the system console becomes hung. Anyone out there have any
ideas as to what may be causing the problem, or where I should be looking for a solution?
