Valgrind logs would help a lot here, with the --leak-check=full option.
In particular, valgrind's output into the logs when the memory-chewing
smbd is killed could be useful.  There is also an smbcontrol command
'pool-usage' that, if the process is still responsive, could list where
the memory is being used.
