Noblesse oblige.

OK. I've never debugged runaway programs.
Does it stay still when I attach it?
Should I compile a debug version for that?
Can you be just a little more specific
as to what I should try to clarify?

You seem to believe, that it is not
looping in samba sources, because you
can't see where it possibly could.

So probably, if the attached process
can be stepped, I should step a full
circle between two socket calls and
see if it ever lands back in samba
code. Is that it?

Cheers
