Many smbd processes per user

[Patrick_Scannell at fws.gov]

This happened to me when the smb server share harddrive was failing.  A new
drive fixed the problem.

Hi,
We're encountering severe load problems associated with multiple smbd
processes running per user.  As an example below, this user has only five
files open yet many smbd's running.  Is there a reason for this
occurring?  I've been experimenting with file locking etc to try and get
around it.

Thanks
Tim
