samba - Apr 2002 - Samba 2.2.3a dies when saving file (locking trouble?)

Hi all,

Something odd is going on.

Samba 2.2.3a on IRIX 6.5.5f


Certain operations (so far it seems to be saving an Excel file (brand
new 'Book1.xls')) cause smbd to die, closing all connections to the PC.

Here's (what I'm hoping is) the relevant log extract.

[2002/04/10 14:32:22, 3] smbd/process.c:(860)
  Transaction 6298 of length 94
[2002/04/10 14:32:22, 3] smbd/process.c:(667)
  switch message SMBlockingX (pid 3215422)

  change_to_user: Skipping user change - already user

  error packet at smbd/process.c(724) cmd=36 (SMBlockingX) eclass=2 ecode=4
[2002/04/10 14:32:22, 3] smbd/process.c:(1091)
  receive_smb error (Error 0) exiting
[2002/04/10 14:32:22, 3] smbd/sec_ctx.c:(313)
  setting sec ctx (0, 0) - sec_ctx_stack_ndx = 0
[2002/04/10 14:32:22, 2] smbd/server.c:(458)
  Closing connections

and from there on smbd just closes all it's connections and does a
'Server Exit'

I'm guesssing it hinges on the 'receive_smb error' line.  Is that
client
generated?

The symptom for the user is (something like) "Excel can't save the
file,
insufficient memory or disk space".

Could it just be a locking problem?  The directory the file is being
saved into is on a local (i.e. non-NFS) filesystem (IRIX XFS)

Any more info I can give?
