Does anyone have any ideas or have seen similar behavior to this?

Subject: large amount of CIFS other ops from xp desktops after canceled search

Hello toasters,

I am having an issue where I periodically find that some xp desktop users are doing a large amount of other ops to a cifs share with a large amount of files for a sustained period.    If I let them go, they will continue for days.  

In most cases, it seems the users do a search and the search takes too long, so they close the window, but it is running in some kind of stuck state in the background.    Killing the session or closing open files via connection to the toaster via computer management does nothing; the session just starts back up and pounds the crap out of the filler. Rebooting the desktop has been my solution so far, though I suspect restarting explorer.exe may be sufficient.

I am running 8.1.1P2 and this is an IBM rebranded FAS3070.  Any ideas?  Has anyone seen similar behavior?
