delayed write failed

I'm posting here because I'm not sure where to post this ( please let me
know if there's a better place ) :

We have a unix box on our network with a samba share.

I've written a custom app in .NET/C# that writes files to this samba share.
I am testing this app on XP SP3 and Windows Server 2003

Some of the files can take more than a few seconds to write , both because
they are large and also because the data is retrieved from a 3rd party db --
which can be slow.

Sometimes we receive the "Delayed Write Failed" error discussed in KB 321733

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321733/en-us

However, there is no error in the application nor system event log with
event ID 50 and source MrxSMB

What else could be going on ?

You may want to turn off SMB signing on the server. Or this search result
may help.
