It appears that the use of mmap functions is also controlled by the 
smb.conf file.

I would recommend disabling the mmap functions and then testing to see 
if the corruption is still present.

http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html is one of the U.S. 
mirrors of the documentation for the smb.conf file.
