PANIC ERROR in smb.log

[Brian Burke x0839]

I use to get these too... it seems that oplocks code in 
the NTDOM branch is broken (fixed in the main code)
For me, this meant losing files on shares... particularly
bad with Visual C++ saving its code/data to a unix share.

If you disable oplocks, these problems go away and all
works well (although slightly slower).

Disable by putting  oplocks = False in smb.conf
