Ah, that's interesting. I've been seeing odd effects too (in 1.7, 4 core
machine). Some of which (thanks Corinna) look like problems in our Samba
configuration but others seemed not to be network related. (current
directory not being correct for example). I'll try to post some repros or
examples when I see them.
