Using these packages we are seeing -
PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
20589 root      16   0  289m  28m 264m S  2.0  1.8   0:30.55 smbd
...
20589 root      16   0  292m  30m 264m S  0.0  2.0   0:34.77 smbd
...
20589 root      16   0  366m 105m 264m S  0.0  6.9   3:26.27 smbd
- note the growing VIRT & RES,  this took about three hours.  

It will continute to grow till it gets upwards of 700Mb.  In which case
will kill -9 the smbd pid (kill -15 doesn't seem to do anything).  And
Samba continues to trundle right along.
