VFS programming / PANIC when opening new files

[Joachim]

Hi!

After I had some problems (=hang ups/PANICs) with a (my) small VFS module, I 
found out that as soon as I Drag&Drop a new (!!) file on a share with this 
module enabled, successful calls to "open", "ftruncate" and "lock" are 
made. But then, the corresponding smbd panics (log follows):

[2003/04/27 19:59:43, 4] smbd/open.c:open_file_shared1(969)
  calling open_file with flags=0x1 flags2=0xC0 mode=0746

Opening existing files for writing is no problem!

Now I took skel.c again, compiled it wihout (!!) any modifications, moved to 
my Windows machine, browsed the tree of the share, opened files ... etc. At 
the same time I looked at the PID of the smbd for the connection - result: 
as soon as a new file is created, the smbd for the connection dies and a 
new one is started (with a PANIC in log file)!!??

At the beginning I thought MY own code/module is faulty. But now it is same 
effect with skel.c!

BTW: Samba 3.0alpha23, Linux 2.4.20, gcc 3.2, glibc 2.3.? (Slackware 8.1, 
updated a little bit)
