explorer freezes on right-clicking .exe's

I'm using samba 2.1 pre-alpha. When I right click an .exe file on the
most shares, explorer freezes, and must be killed to recover. The
problem doesn't show up on the home shares, but appears on any other
shares I create. I've experienced this problem on many different
workstations. Looking at the logs, it seems to be a problem with
oplocks; the part of the log that seems to apply is below. If anyone
can help me with this problem, it would be greatly appreciated.

log level 5:
