We're running RHEL 4.x with the latest RHEL samba packages of
3.0.10.x.x, and we've seen something similar on a couple of servers, but
it's a very rare occurrence.  Would you be able to send me a document
that you know triggers the problem, along with what version of MS Word
you're using to open it?
