By the user?

Maybe it's a locking issue. Did you try on very simple programs, such as
Notepad, that does not use lockfiles?

If you're looking at locks, you should check the oplocks parameters...

In Linux you're (AFAIK) right, but there's another OS here, that may not be
working the same way you think :)

I am assuming you already increased verbosity levels and tried to check the
