This is not the case in my situation (see OP).

I have four files out of 5000+ that keep getting locked 
(marked ALL_DENY). These are the same files everytime I 
tried to copy them. When I remove these four files I can 
copy all I want. I've checked everything about those files: 
permissions, damage, but I can't find anything wrong with 
them. There is no hard crash and like I said: other files in 
other trees don't give me this problem.

Is there a way to examine in more detail what happens when 
one of those files is marked locked? I'm using a Slackware 
9.1 install with the stock 2.2.8a tgz package.
