It's interesting how despite the variety of files with oplock_break
errors, it's only the Microsoft Excel 97 files that ran into these
"corruption" problems. By "corruption" I mean suddenly the file couldn't
be opened because Microsoft Excel 97 would complain that the file was of
an invalid format. The rest of the Excel files are okay, though.

It sounds wierd, but I'm jumping at it anyway. "nt acl support" is now
formally a per-share setting. Will it work fine as a global directive as
well?

Thanks. :)
