Update on this: I wondered if the problem could be in my
binary packages, so I installed Samba 2.2.2 from source
on my Debian machine (2.4.17 kernel).
No change. The same files freeze in the same spots.
The only thing left that I can think to try is to boot
a 2.2 kernel - going to try that next. Any other ideas???
Thanks,
Carl
