[Samba] 3.0.4 on Solaris 8 - fcntl(F_SETLK64)

[Brian Ford]

We upgraded from 2.2.5 to 3.0.4 last week and ever since have been running
into a deadlock condition that causes clients to hang for extended
periods; all trying to get a write lock on locking.tdb.  I have been
dilligently googling to find the solution and have thus far been
unsuccessful.  My kernel rev is 108528-29, so I think I'm ok there.  Does
anyone have any ideas?

All I can think of is that I have a gcc install that I used to build samba
from before the kernel patch and gcc "fixed" a crucial header that changed
with the 108528-19 patch?

I had to revert today to keep our users from killing me ;-).  Please let
me know what technical info I can provide to track this down.  I'm pretty
handy with gdb, truss, etc.  Thanks.
