We had similar problems. stracing hung child smbd processes pointed the
finger at *local* locking issues: processes were hanging in
fcntl(...,F_SETLKW64,...) for one byte locks on fd 14 = locking.tdb; the
culprit function is tdb_brlock.
Turning off oplocks seems to have helped, but we'd also like to get to
the bottom of this... is this fcntl/locking hang behavior what you are
seeing too?
