Oplocks for the share need to be turned off. It will work OK for a while with oplocks
on then corrupt eventually.

I'd update samba to the latest version. It's really easy to compile from source if you
cannot get a packaged version for the older distribution.
95 clients also have a bugged vredir and vnetsup. These need updated to work
properly. These should be available from microsoft. I also disable the network read &
write caching on 95 clients.
I have a method which is called on starting up the database to ensure these settings
are set.
