Here's what I sent yesterday, more info follows:
> Hello. I'm having a bit of trouble with my upgrade. I installed 3.0.8

Log entries from samba3 startup:
tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(725)
tdb(/usr/local/samba308/var/locks/share_info.tdb): tdb_lock spinlock
failed on list 103 ltype=1
tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(725)
tdb(/usr/local/samba308/var/locks/share_info.tdb): tdb_lock spinlock
failed on list 103 ltype=0
tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(725)
tdb(/usr/local/samba308/var/locks/share_info.tdb): tdb_lock spinlock
failed on list 0 ltype=1
tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(725)
tdb(/usr/local/samba308/var/locks/share_info.tdb): tdb_lock spinlock
failed on list 103 ltype=1
tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(725)
tdb(/usr/local/samba308/var/locks/share_info.tdb): tdb_unlock: count
is 0
... and then it lists the same set of messages for ntprinters.tdb, and
again for each of those two files any time samba attempts to access
them.
