I just got done doing a log level 10 myself.  I was about to do some
ethereal captures, and saw your messages.  Thanks for the great analysis,
I really appreciate it,  you are more on top of Samba than myself, that's
for sure.  Hopefully someone can get some more insight to this and share.

Did you happen to try this on a reiserfs volume?   I've debated myself
several times about using reiserfs.  If I have time I'll test today,
otherwise, somtime soon.
