[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#803941: Debian bug #803941

[Ian Munsie]

Thanks Dennis.

Forwarding this to the bug report since it might be useful to others
and may help narrow down the cause. Unfortunately this workaround did
not work for me - I didn't have oplocks in the smb.conf to begin with
(and I tried adding it and related options to no avail) :(
