What is "oplock_break"?  Why might it be failing?

This is a critical issue regarding my business and the way that I work with
client website files.  File saves via samba to my webserver are getting
corrupted, resulting in serious data loss, and my wife's business has lost
the capacity to do backups and access of critical data via a file share,
lest it also be corrupted.

I thought it was a samba 3 issue, but back-versioned to v2.2.3a and have the
same problem.  Something else is causing the problem, probably as a result
of a change which was part of a general update on the server, which is
tracking Debian testing.  The Win box running the software having problems
is running Windows 95.  Nothing has changed there.  The file save process
which used to work properly is now hanging and returning an error box with
"Stream I/O error" and a later notation that "some other process" had
modified the file.  The Linux kernel is at 2.4.20 (hasn't changed in several
months).

Please reply to fmouse-x98nof at fmp.com if you have any insight into this.  I
don't have time to research the tech detials of file locking and such, but
any pointers, suggestions or references anyone might be able to send will be
deeply appreciated.
