Well, it looks like it is reproducible - it's happening again.

smbstatus reports anywhere from 0 to 3 more processes than ps. 
I don't see any crash reports in the smbd logs.

This time, one additional thing is happening that wasn't
happening before - X freezes partway through login on the
machine's console.  Also - I can telnet to it as root, but it
hangs on login if I try to telnet in as a regular user.  The NFS
exports of the same drive that Samba is exporting seem to be
fine.
