[Samba] smbd hanging on OS X 10.4.8

[nicerobot]

Hi,
If process all my mounts prior to the "..." bit below. It looks as if
it's hanging while processing some printer config. On that assumption
and since I don't and never have had any printers attached, I've
commented out the '[printers]' section from smb.conf. No section
contains a 'printable = yes'. I've tried with all sections containing
'printable = no'. The '[global]' section includes 'load printers = no'.
Still it hangs. Any clue or tips on things to try are greatly
appreciated. Apple hasn't been able to reproduce the problem and haven't
been able to come up with any recommendations that I haven't already tried.
Thanks
