[Samba] Failed to setup RT_SIGNAL_LEASE handler

[beolach at comcast.net]

I am running Slackware-9.1 with Samba 3.0.1 on Linux kernel 2.4.22, and have
been having a problem where my syslog is getting filled with messages about
smbd failing to setup RT_SIGNAL_LEASE handler, as below:

------------<snip from syslog>--------------
Feb  9 22:18:48 morannon smbd[11832]: [2004/02/09 22:18:48, 0] smbd/oplock_linux.c:linux_init_kernel_oplocks(289)

Feb  9 22:21:40 morannon smbd[11833]:   Failed to setup RT_SIGNAL_LEASE handler

My quick google search came up with the page below, which seems to indicate
that this message in Samba 2.2.7 should have been fixed in 3.0 with a changed
#define, but I am still getting it with version 3.0.1.

As the patch suggested in that message was already applied in the version of
samba I have, does anyone have any other suggestion on what I could do to
stop my samba from generating these messages?  From the bit of research I did
I think if I disabled kernel oplocks in smb.conf it might fix this error, but
would also have a performance loss, which I would prefer to avoid if possible.

TIA,
