[Samba] Lots of smbd processes and connections?

[Brian]

OK Progress, MAYBE!?

I know my web server is inaccessible, but let's move on from that...
that is an issue for another day.

At a log level 3, currently, I get the following sequence repeating
itself about 164 times per second.  In that sequence it appears to 
be closing 2 directories with incrementing fnum's

So what is smbd/reply.c:reply_close(4343) close directory fnum=xxxx?

that is about the only thing that changes besides the
transaction number.

I'm not sure where the pattern starts/stop but the following is
CLEARLY repeating itself at a high rate of speed.
