+prefork process restart
+-----------------------
+
+The pre-fork process model now restarts failed processes. The delay between
+restart attempts is controlled by the "prefork backoff increment" (default = 10)
+and "prefork maximum backoff" (default = 120) smbd.conf parameters. A linear
+back off strategy is used with "prefork backoff increment" added to the
+delay between restart attempts up until it reaches "prefork maximum backoff".
+
+Using the default sequence the restart delays (in seconds) are:
+ 0, 10, 20, ..., 120, 120, ...
