Excel 2003 and sub-second timestamps

Hi,

We have come across a problem with Excel 2003 and Samba 3.0.x where, when
saving an existing file, you get the following dialog box up:

  ! The file '<filename>' may have been changed by another user
    since you last saved it. In that case, what do you want to
    do?

Has anyone seen this?

By comparing what is returned by Win2K and Samba at the point at which the
error occurs, it seems that the only difference is that Win2K returns
sub-second time stamps and perhaps that Win2K is reacting to one of the
time stamps that we synthesize.

Regards
