Sometime earlier, someone posted a few comments on samba's locking versus that of
NT.
I've forgot his name, but he wrote that when a server downgrades an exclusive
oplock to a level II oplock, if the client performs any operations before
acknowledging the downgrade, then the server should break the level II oplock
next.

I've thought about this, and I still don't buy it.

Would anyone care to comment on what scenario would cause problems if the server
did NOT break the new level II oplock, but left it be?
