samba - Jan 2011 - log.smbd filled with same message after 3.2.4 -> 3.5.4 update

We had been running SUSE 11.0 since 2008, and recently updated to SUSE 
11.3.  This also brought an update from Samba 3.2.4 to 3.5.4.  
Immediately after updating the servers, configurations unchanged, the 
messages log and log.smbd became flooded with the same message repeated 
constantly.  The logging system is archiving both log files almost daily 
now, and up to the update it took over a year to generate enough log 
messages for it to archive.

The message from log.smbd

[2011/01/12 09:01:37.439591,  0] lib/util_sock.c:675(write_data)

SUSE is writing the same exact log messages to other log files as well.  
There has been no errors experienced from the clients, logging on, 
transferring files, etc.  Any help would be appreciated.
