oplock break errors in 2.2.6-pre1

[Lars Heineken]

I posted this a couple of months ago, I think it's about the same thing.
 
Today I found another bug in vesrion 2.2.3a : Our unix-server hosts a
samba-share that contains all files from the win98-CD. Every
win98-client maps this share as drive Z. He uses this drive when win98s
asks for the windows-cd. After Upgrading the server from samba 2.0.7 to
samba 2.2.3a the win98-machine locks when he tries to access this
"windows-cd-rom-drive-share" The normal browsing via explorer works
fine, but the selection of "Z:\" as Source of the win98-CD (during the
dialog "new hadrware found" eg.) locks the win-machine completely. After
changing the binaries smbd and nmbd back to version 2.0.7 on the server,
everything workes fine again.
