I first had a deadlock when reading files using multiple forked process
from a single smb share. I thought it was due to the fact that I called
smbc_init before i forked the processes, and used shared memory to
communicate common data. I then proceeded to rectify this by issuing the
smbc_init call after forking - in the individual foked processes, so they
are in different address spaces. I still however, run into a deadlock
problem. When running the program set to 1 process, it works fine. When
running the program set to 2 processes, it freezes. I was wondering if
anyone could help me. I am using Samba 2.2.7a. Does Samba 3.0 take care
of this problem?
