I wonder if this is the cause of my Office97 saving problem - word crashes
with 'Invalid Page fault in Shell32.dll' when saving files.
This fault appears random - some users are rarely affected, others we had
to downgrade back to word6 as they couldnt get any work done at all.
Samba terminating the connection and the client having to reconnect on
a busy server could just be the straw that breaks the bloated cammel's back.
One troublesome user, we converted to NT4, and Office works perfectly,
however the machine is so slow under NT, that a delay saving due to
a reconnect wouldnt be noticed.
