What about editors like Joe - when I run it on two terminals to access the same file, the second (and subsequent attempts) show read only... Admittedly that's probably FILE locking - not more granular like region based etc - but certainly appriate with logs of windows apps like notepad,

I think this is editor specific. I get the same warning in vi if I open the same file in vi. But say if I open one in vi then in gedit, the latter doesn't warn me. But If I change something in gedit and go back to vi, vi warns me that the file has been changed since reading! [Mitch says:]

The error message is the usual panic error - 3.0.11 and FreeBSD 4.8. Samba 3.0.8 ran fine with the same config (admittedly there were a few roaming profile sync related crashes, which is why I was upgrading). Now however I can't even connect - it crashes immediately, respawns and crashes again.
