[Samba] After update to 3.6.1 -> smbd dies often ? massive brl and lock database cleanup scheduled log entries

[Kahle, Markus]

Hi ! 

We updated our NT4 domain-server samba from 3.0.27a to newest available 3.6.5 version this weekend. 
I've done various testing in a VM to make sure that everything is working under 3.6.5 and it all seems to run well. 
After updating the live system to 3.6.5 the following log entries occur really often, but users don't have any noticable problems. 
( Tried to find matching entries in the client logs - loglevel 2 ):

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 


It seems that a connection to a share gets dropped because it's idle (normal exit), but samba think it's "unclean" and rebuilds brl and lock databases. 
Any hints or suggestions for this errors ? Can it be ignored , or should I dig deeper (loglevel) ? 
Is it possible that any old stuff from samba 3.0.27a causes that errors in 3.6.5 ? 


Thanks in advance, 

Markus
