Firstly, let's keep the list CC:ed so we keep
everyone up to date. I'm asking what file name
the fcntl is blocked in, as I want to know if
this is a Samba tdb, or a file the server is
trying to access. The Samba server should never
make a blocking fcntl lock call on a user data
file, but will make such calls on tdb files.

So please let me know what file the fcntl syscall
is blocked in. Thanks,

Jeremy.
