samba - Sep 2002 - stale smbd process when user logs out

Hello,

Our group is observing the following behavior:

When a user accesses samba and then logs out of windows, the smbd
process on the UNIX side is often not terminated.  This leaves
the windows machine in an unusable state (further attempts to access 
samba result in the user being asked for a userid and a password, and none are 
accepted).  The only solution we have discovered is to either reboot the 
windows machine or kill -15 the smbd process.

Any ideas?

I neglected to mention that we are using samba 2.2.5 and rehat linux 7.3.
