+>Some people have been experiencing problems with F_SETLKW64/fcntl
+when running samba on solaris. The built in file locking mechanism was
+not scalable. Performance would degrade to the point where processes would
+get into loops of trying to lock a file. It woul try a lock, then fail,
+then try again. The lock attempt was failing before the grant was
+occurring. So the visible manifestation of this would be a handful of
+processes stealing all of the CPU, and when they were trussed they would
+be stuck if F_SETLKW64 loops.</P
