Can you get a Debug/iX trace of what samba is doing during the loop?

Best way:

   1) determine samba pin
      (perhaps:  showproc job=#J333)

      ...assume the pin is 123

   2) (as manager.sys)

      :run samba.pub.samba; debug
            ...the same program file that's looping ... this is used to
               get Debug to show us the procedure names in pin 123.

      pin #123; tr,i,d
            ... the "#" means "decimal"

            ... do the above (pin#123;tr,i,d) several times to get a couple
                of good stack traces.  (If any of the traces are only
                two or three lines long, ignore them and do it again)

      abort
            ... 'cuz you want to abort the local samba process
                (don't worry, this won't affect pin 123)

   3) post results or email them to me

            ...if this results in a stack trace that's only 2 or 3 lines long,

thanks,
