[Samba] fcntl_lock problem: samba 2.2.3a, kernel 2.2.19

[Charlie Brady]

I'm trying to solve a roaming profile problem which manifests as a locking
error during Win2K logout with roaming profiles enabled. Level 3 debug
tells me:

NT_STATUS_LOCK_NOT_GRANTED

I note that 9223372036854775808 == 0x8000000000000000, so this isn't a 
genuine region locking call.  Shouldn't this lock be filtered out before 
fcntl_lock() is called?

I've found a workaround: setting "posix locking = no" for the Profiles
share hides the problem quite effectively.

I can provide more information if anyone needs help to find the but.
