Public bug reported:

I have a home server running ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS.
It was setup originally with ubuntu 12.04 LTS and running satisfactorily for more than 2 years
The server checks every 10 minutes and goes to sleep if no active clients are detected.
My main PC is a w7 box connecting to some samba shares on the server.
In the past 3 weeks it happened 3 times that the server reported an active samba connection although the client had long been shutdown.
At the first occurrence I set the deadtime parameter to 10 but this did not solve the problem.
The deadtime parameter was not there at all for the past 2 years and the problem only showed up lately so I think the cause of problem is somewhere else.

This is the output of smbstatus -v taken about 2 hours after the client has been powered off.
It should not show the 4366 PID lines.
