We now have a patchset upstream for this problem, and I've backported it and rolled it into the test kernels on my people page: http://people.redhat.com/jlayton/ ...if you're able to test them and let me know whether they solve the problem for you (and whether you notice any regressions), it would be appreciated.

From bug 462459: Committed in 78.23.EL . RPMS are available at http://people.redhat.com/vgoyal/rhel4/ ...moving this to MODIFIED since the patches for it were part of the larger CIFS update.
Any updates here? Has this issue been resolved in the RHEL 4.8 Beta? later kernel?
