As I indicated on Tuesday, the cache manager does not serialize the write requests. Examining the code used for managing the sleeping threads showed that the queues were being treated as LIFO instead of FIFO. This encouraged starvation. Fixing this does not appear to solve the problem but it does significantly improve the situation. Using the default CIFS session timeout of 45 seconds I am now able to write files from Word up to 28mb in size. Your mileage may vary.
It seems that the long term solution to this problem is going to require that the age of the CIFS request be taken into account when scheduling waking up blocked threads.
