samba - Feb 2009 - Server crashes every hour at mass logout, smbd at 100% CPU

Hi
my server crashes every 90 minutes. There is no helpfull message in  
any logfile, the only thing i can see is that smbd consumes 100% CPU.  
The server hangs completely, no access to console, no networking. This  
might have something to do with user logout. This server stands in a  
school and about 150 pupils log out after each lesson. I assume it has  
nothing to with printing, as printing is done directly over cups. I  
use loglevel 2.
My smb.conf (excluding many shares):

-Wl,-soname=========================================================================BTW:
I tried to set CFLAGS to -O0 with export CFLAGS="-O0" but
"-O"
isn't the same as "-O0"?

What can I do to reproduce that error? Simply logging out or shutting  
down _one_ PC does not suffice.
What can I do to track down my error?
This error occured after the update to OpenSUSE 11.1. The official  
SuSE version had the same weakness.
The owner of the hanging smbd is root.
I changed from nss-ldapd to nss-ldap but that didn't help me with this  
problem.

Any help is appreciated, thanks a lot

Hi,
i changed the loglevel to 4 and saw several messages pointing me to  
the saba howto. The logfile was overwritten after server reboot (i  
didn't have time to save it), but all these errors occured after a  
user tried to access a misconfigured cups printer queue (backend and  
directory didn't exist). I deleted the printer and the systems _seems_  
to run fine now. Is there any test in the samba testsuite that would  
have reproduced that error?

Thanks,
M. Mueller

Well - now i am. Thanks a lot! I added "notify:inotify = false" to my
smb.conf. The system seems to run fine now, though i don't know if its  
because of the deleted printer or because of the disabled inotify. I  
can not try it - users are currently a bit stressed.
