Actually, there's one more thing we can use with valgrind to try and find a
long-lived malloc pointer reference.

Can you add the option "--show-reachable=yes" to your valgind command line and
try again (run under valgrind, let it grow a while, then kill <pid>).

So the full command line would be:

valgrind --trace-children=yes --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes
/usr/bin/smbd

This will dump out *all* known memory references on exit, even the ones that
aren't lost. That will allow me to look for any large, spoolss-related
allocations that are still reachable but probably should already have been
freed.

Jeremy.
