[Samba] Win 8 explorer.exe hangs randomly

[Philipp v. Thunen]

Hi Eros,

I've seen this behavior - explorer.exe on 8.1 hanging until I restart
samba (or kill the samba process) - in connection with this bug:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10415 .

You could check your logs if you see a similar message there. Or you
just upgrade to 4.1.6 - the upgrade to 4.1.5 solved the issue for me.

Regards
Philipp
