Samba & Linux SMP kernel

Greetings all,

I'm still struggling with Samba 2.0.7-4 on a RedHat Linux 6.2 box and I'm 
wondering if there are any known issues when using samba on a box with 
multiple processors.  I *seem* to recall reading something about this quite 
awhile ago, but I can't find it and don't remember enough about it to be 
useful.  :-(  Currently I'm using 1.9.18p10-52.4 on the box because it 
seems to be the most stable.  Most of the problems I'm having are oplock 
related.  Oplocks work pretty well on 1.9 but badly under 2.0.  Is my SMP 
kernel the culprit or do I need to look elsewhere?

-Eric
