We worked around the problem by adding
veto oplock files =
/index.dat/????????-????-????-????-????????????.dat/0x????????_R/
to smb.conf

It seems that all stale oplocks we have here, are caused by Internet
Explorer files: several index.dat files containing cookie, history and
RSS feed indexes, the IE anti phishing index file, and some file with
a hexadecimal number in its file name in a directlry named Offline.

This problem probably started after upgrading the WinXP clients to
Internet Explorer 7.

I can't imagine we are the only one having this problem?
