  It appears after getting numerous reports that OOo does not save
  properly to cifs mounted filesystems and that the cause is due to the
  fact the 'nobrl' option is not being used. The root cause of this bug
  may be a problem in OOo itself but according to the man page of
  mount.cifs it sounds like it would probably be a good idea to use this
  option in any case.

-        Do not send byte range lock requests to the server. This is
-        necessary for certain applications that break with cifs style
-        mandatory byte range locks (and most cifs servers do not yet
-        support requesting advisory byte range locks).
