I've never seen that happening but I'm not using Samba very much.

Unfortunately it's hard to tell with so little information. Did you  
check the
logfile? Did you try running "smbd" with "ktrace" to see what it is  
the last
thing it does before it does? What does your "smb.conf" look like?  
What version
of NetBSD and Samba are you using?

	Kind regards
