    Well, no, I'm not positive, but when whatever hangs, I get a big 
slowdown in file access, file open, etc.. from XP. When I then go and check 
the logs the transport end point and getpeername is the only thing that 
shows up in the log. I admit I haven't had time to put up a console and 
check in the past few days. It is definately an XP issue. It occurs on both 
Suse 9.0 and Mandrake 7.2 with 3.0.7. It occurred with all the 2.0 and 2.2 
sambas as well. I'll keep an eye on it and report back.
