samba - Oct 2001 - Locking error - Samba 2.2.2

This is a new one for me. Has anyone else encountered this?
Linux 2.4.12-ac3+preempt with Samba 2.2.2
I saw this error when I tried "cutting and pasting" a pair of
directories
between two shares on the same machine from a Windows 2000 client PC.
/var/log/samba/log.smbd
[2001/10/20 23:51:06, 0] locking/locking.c:delete_fn(252)
  locking : delete_fn. LOGIC ERROR ! Entry for pid 969 and it no longer
exists !

I'm not subscribed to the Samba list. (Linux-Kernel keeps my inbox full as
it is..), so please CC me on any replies.

Ignore this for now.  It is defensive programming code put it to
help us track down a bug.

Sorry to step in this late in this discussion. I haven't got much time to
track
samba lists.
Just to let you know. I have exactly the same problem with 2.2.2 on HP-UX 10.20 
that was compiled by myself.
At first samba was crashing all the time. I tracked that down to malloc calls. 
That's right! I even installed the latest libc patch: to no avail. I finally
hardlinked the libmalloc.a library and that problem went away.
Now I have the described behaviour. It also shows up with the connections error 
like:
locking : delete_fn. LOGIC ERROR ! Entry for pid 969 and it no longer exists !

Currently I cannot take Samba down as that would crash some applications of 
users. I hope I can restart it tonight with debugging enabled to get an idea 
what's the cause of this.
Just an add-on note: I have this binary running on two machines. (untill now) 
It only shows up with the machine that is stressed by multiple users. The other 
machine is seldom accessed by more than one user simultaneously.
