ms word and samba 2.0.6 problems

[Johannes Weberhofer]

Hi!

I've had an similar problem a year ago (I've sometimes got "file or
disk error" messages, and the files were destroyed). That problem
disappeared by increasing the "shared mem size" in the global section
of smb.conf. I've set it to 2097152, and now it works fine.
