If you're running glibc 2.1.x, make sure that if you include Samba in
your distribution that it's version 2.0.5 or later - previous versions
fall prey to glibc 2.1.x's incorrect reporting of 64-bit filehandles and
will lose the Windows networking locking bits as a result, which results
in data corruption.
