samba - Feb 2002 - Linux EXT3 support? problems flushing?

Does Samba fully support EXT3 filesystems?  Often my WinXP clients lock
up for about 3-15 seconds when a program requests a flush (ie, sometimes
when Outlook is sending mail).  I checked the logs and nothing unusual
appears, other than flushing info -- not an OpLock problem.  I've used
Samba 2.2.2, 2.2.3a, and 3.0, all appear to have the same problem.
Linux/i386 2.4.17.

I've not tried the exact combination of clients an applications you 
mention, but I do run exclusively on ext3 now for all my development 
boxes....  I've not noticed these problems.  But then again they probably 
aren't stressed like a production system either.
