Thanks, we have 2 cifs servers, and they are both having the issue.  I'm
doubting a hardware problem.  Not sure where to go with a "kernel bug".
Doing a "restart" on samba does fix the issue, I dont' have to fully
reboot.

But, the real issue (I think) is not that I can't kill -9, but that the
processes are refusing to close when the client goes away, or am I off
in my thinking here?  Is there some type of timeout value for samba
processes I'm unaware of I should be setting?
