[Bug 34116] I would like to see the severity bumped up

[Gallardo]

I have tried Dapper Drake Ubuntu + 2.6.15-19-686 and have a serious problem browsing my samba server on a FreeBSD box. Here are the open files (using ssh into the freebsd box) while I browse using Nautilus on Dapper Ubuntu:

[steve at wishbone:~] while true; do sysctl kern.openfiles; sleep 2; done

>> I close the nautilus browser and start over down the same path. Notice old files are not closed and browsing same path opens new files.

kern.openfiles: 570
kern.openfiles: 589
kern.openfiles: 931
kern.openfiles: 931
kern.openfiles: 931

This does not happen with Breezy. It works as expected - as does knoppix, xandros, win98, win2000. Samba is version 3.0.22
I increased the the open file limit on the freebsd box so that the server does not run out of file handles so quickly.

I am requesting a higher severity because this is a showstopper for deploying Drake onto a network with a freebsd server.
