file corruption

Hello,

I use samba on SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 (rs505a, oss497c, oss600a) as a
NT-Domainmember. With 2.0.3 everything was fine for months. After upgrading
to 2.0.5a we encountered filesystemcorruption so I downgraded back to 2.0.3.

2 weeks ago I reinstalled OpenServer and Samba. 2.0.3 and 2.0.5a did not
work at all. Logfile says "ERROR: root did not create the semaphore" and
"ERROR: Failed to initialise share modes!". 2.0.6 work, but we encounter
file corruption. Opening the same file with MS-Word sometimes work fine,
sometimes gives error messages. In the logfile I find:
 locking/locking_shm.c:shm_get_share_modes(213)
  get_share_modes: process 26765 no longer exists
 locking/locking_shm.c:shm_get_share_modes(241)
  get_share_modes: file with dev 168 inode 183144 empty

I have exported the filesystem through NFS and mounted it to a linuxbox and
there Samba 2.0.5a (and NFS) works great. No problems accessing the same
file.
