[Samba] corrupt files... oplocks?

Suddenly in the past week we have been having users who share excel
files via our Samba complain that the file has become corrupt, and also
some database files (Orcad .tdb database files). Fortunately there has
in each instance been a good copy in the .recycler... so far.

I came across some docs and threads in the net about oplocks. I did find
an error in the samba log:

[2008/04/14 10:19:05, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_timeout_handler(351)

and there are some other errors that have been in the logs for a long
time that we've been ignoring (because we were ignorant & nobody
complained of any problems)

Should we add a line disabling oplocks in smb.conf, and if so, what
would be the recommended approach?
