[Samba] Memory Leak in 2.2.6rc2??

[gsmith at ahbl.ca]

It's winbindd.

We had been running ok then noticed that winbindd wasn't running. We started
it up then sometime later noticed the server slowing down.

Meminfo showed free had dropped from 80+MB to 4.  Restaring Samba didn't
change things much (Free went to 7MB), restarting winbindd put it back up to
80MB.

Has anything changed in winbindd between pre2 and rc2?  We were running with
pre2 for a couple of days without problems.

I'd recommend something that periodicly (every 30 seconds or so) looks
at the output from /proc/meminfo and alerts you if the free area drops
low. Also looking at the current RSS size from of all smbd's using
ps is a good idea.
