That's probably the best idea. I was given a program the stressed
the Foxpro locking code over a network severely and it was
failing on Samba, the change I made fixed it and will be in
the next release (2.2.4). If you're not experiencing problems
currently then no need to upgrade to (still changing) CVS
code.
