Thanks for the fix. Looks good so far. Now I can report a second problem, which I had hoped was just another manifestation of the first, and therefore would be fixed by this patch. Unfortunately, it was not. The trouble is, on the same new machines that have the antivirus product on them, we have an app that creates a lock file on an OpenVMS Samba share, and then fails to delete it afterwards. The leftover lock file prevents further accesses to the resource it is locking until it is manually removed. The app is written in VB, and only fails on these new machines, not the old ones. At this point I can't tell if the fault is also related to the antivirus product or not: I have an open call to our own PC support guys to do some further testing. I know that's not a lot of info to go on. But does anything come to mind? Ben PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT ETIQUETTE MESSAGE BEFORE POSTING: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
