samba - Jul 2014 - smbd's using up 100% of all cpu's and load avg slowly going up

Hi,

Running samba sernet 4.1.6-7, I've noticed the load avg slowly / steadily
creeping up (.e.g > 100). I'm now noticing that several smbd processes
are
at 100%. I don't actually notice that much bandwidth usage on the system
(e.g. iptraf/iftop). Any idea what's causing this?

Restarting smbd helps for a few days, but then the high load avg returns.

Thanks,
Sabuj

What do you see when you do an strace on one of the offending processes?
