So, I thought the problem has been resolved....
But now I discovered the same problem with MS Excel
(Office 2000 on Win 2000). When I try to open
an Excel file on a samba share, the whole program
hangs. When I set the option "fake oplocks = yes"
everything works.

If anyone has any idea, please let me know.
