You can "killall -1 smbd" safely.  If you want do a smbstatus before and after,
 you'll see all the locked/open files stay around.

I've never seen that one,  but I've seen some strange things.  I'd suspect
oplocks,  which are a bit wobbly in old versions of Samba.  Can't hurt to try
and turn them off.
