I just built 2.6.27.9-rc1 and disconnected the Windowz box several times. For now smbd does not seem to go into a death spin any more, even though as far as I can tell .9-rc1 does not contain Manfred'd latest patch. Not sure what that means, if anything.
I'll keep running stable.9-rc1 and see what happens..
thanks all Holger
