I'll have to look into it. No idea right now. Internally we use a
simple garbage collection based scheme for allocating memory
for RPC PDU's. I've seen bugs in NT 4 where the client
sends a 12Mb PDU. Perhaps your hitting s similar bug in XP.
Is the memory growth reproducible via a single action?
Can you send me a level 10 debug log
log level = 10
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
chau, jerry
