Yes, would you mind retesting on a recent kernel and a recent patch?

Patches for kernels as old as 2.4.12 and as recent as the current
pre-releases are available at:

	http://tech9.net/rml/linux/

I use samba myself a _lot_ here and I have not observed any problems,
even with our older patches... although I don't copy NT->Linux very
often.
