kernel 2.6.9-1.6_FC2 and samba

Last week I hit a problem interacting with a server
running samba 2.2.3a. I could mount a share and
write to a file ( checked with "date >> file" ), but other
operations ( "touch file") failed with an IO error after
a rather length pause. I had just rebooted recently
using the 2.6.9-1.6_FC2, so I tried rebooting using
the previous kernel, 2.6.9-1.3_FC2. After the reboot
the problem not longer occurred.
a couple of coworkers that use gentoo have been
having the same symptoms. They're running a 2.6.9
kernel, too.
The only clues so far are the above mentioned reboot
to older kernel and this log message :
SMB connection re-established (-5)
smb_trans2: invalid data, disp=0, cnt=0, tot=0, ofs=0
smb_add_request: request [dcfc9e40, mid=11564] timed out!
provided by one of my coworkers.
It's been suggested that upgrading samba on the server
might help, but since it's a critical system I'd rather know
that that would solve the problem instead of just trying
things.
Anyone seen a problem like this? Any suggestions
on isolating where the problem is?
thanks,
