Thanks for fixing oplock.c for Linux 2.0 in 2_2 CVS

[Richard Bollinger]

Right... or if it times out because of the dead time setting... so it's shouldn't be that rare
in the wild.  I have a feeling that a lot of folks just disable oplocks to avoid the "troubles".
My test at work showed that the problem did not occur with a W2K server when I forced the
disconnect from the server end.

Ok - I've been looking at this - it only happens if the smbd has
been killed in between the first and second net use commands.

The client repeatably fails to respond to a valid oplock break request....

I'm looking into this more.
