[Samba] smbd's using up 100% of all cpu's and load avg slowly going up

[Andrew/]

I have been getting exactly the same problem with 3.6.6. It's as if Windows
loses connection to the samba server over wireless connections and samba keeps
looking for the other end whereas windows just opens new connections. It seems
to happen when windows enters sleep mode too.

 I raised bug 10530, although my samba server is a Raspberry Pi so didn't know
if it might have been the Pi that could not keep up
