'course, why not :))

You better send bug report to samba-bugs at samba.anu.edu.au The problem with
WinNT was hit by me at early alpha of 1.9.18; if I remember correctly, all
reports referred to NT as well. You seem to be the first one reporting it
for Win95.

For the time being, turn off oplocks if not absolutely needed.
