This is my share setup for Revit.  Note the veto oplocks line; this was 
necessary to get revit happy.

Have you looked in the samba log files? I'd turn up the debugging and 
see what it is doing when a crash occurs.  One of my customers is a 
legacy firm - they have been around for about 60 years, and they went to 
computers early, so we're always finding stuff that is 'just barely 
failing', with strange symptoms and intermittent faults.  It can be hard 
to diagnose those faults.

The samba log files are really detailed and help out in figuring out 
what is at fault.
