[Samba] Lots of smbd processes and connections? AKA "New issue with a New Vista Client - couldn't find service"

Brian bbayorgeon at charter.net

Did some research, but didn't find a solution.  All the following links
discuss a similar issue with not being able to find a service and in most
cases the error reports the service name truncated by one character.  One
was reporting the service name with extra characters. These date back to
2003 and maybe earlier.  

Some interesting discussions with some indicating a Windoze bug persisting
from Win2k thru WinXP  (and now vista)

Others report it is a long standing samba bug since 2.x....who knows.

One common thing near as I can tell is solutions are not identified.  

Many seem to ignore it, but the traffic and logs are putting quite a burden
on the system.

Again any thoughts are appreciated

thanks
Brian

Checked up on my new 3.3.8 installation and found this after a vista
workstation was idle all day on the network

I forgot to save the smbstatus output but it was a long list of PIDs linked
to the workstation in question.

Also I restarted then stopped the server and all the processes stayed there.
