Comment 9 for bug 117730

Just to follow up here: this current problem seems to be associated with CIFS's byte-range locking, which behaves in unexpected ways. If i use the "nobrl" option during the CIFS mount, i can cleanly use sqlite (this comes at the cost of not having advisory locks propagate across the network, though, so it is probably not an acceptable workaround to every situation).

I reported the bug against debian's smbfs package, if you want to follow it there: http://bugs.debian.org/483507
