SubjectRe: 2.1.26-patch2
   I have found the following problem to disappear when applying Alan's third patch to 2.1.26.  I believe that this problem is now fixed.

I have had it happen once, and my machine was locked up so badly that nothing could be done.  I typed "root" to login on the console and it took 30 minutes to echo that...

I've just done a quick test, and it spawns off heaps of copies of nmbd when I run a net-use (client machine is OS/2 version 4.0).  Nmbd is run in the following fashion from inetd.cond:
netbios-ns      dgram   udp     wait    root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/nmbd
The fact that so many copies are run suggests than inetd is not correctly waiting for nmbd.  At the moment I don't have much time so I can't debug it in detail.  That's why I'm posting this to the list so someone else can continue working on it.  I'll give you more information tomorrow night if no
