Bang, that's it, you proved it.
Obviously, your next step is to do the corrective maintenance suggested
for Samba. If that doesn't eliminate the symptom...
My next step would be, just as a diagnostic test, run smb and nmb from
a terminal, then shut them down again, and see if the problem occurs.
If so, ***TEMPORARILY*** replace your smb.conf with the simplest
possible smb.conf (maybe just printers) and see if the problem still
occurs. If so, ask for help on the Samba list. But if the simplest
possible smb.conf shuts down in a few seconds, then start adding stuff
back until you find the Samba service that takes all the time, and
examine that.
