Bug description:
  Saving files over a cifs/smbfs server doesnt work.  You can open file,
  edit then save perfectly.  But repeated saves after give you this
  error:

  "The file /home/dhonn/website/arrays.php has been modified since
  reading it.  If you save it, all the external changes could be lost.
  Save it anyway?"

  The think is lying to me because I havent made any external changes.

  When I click "Save Anyway", i get this error:

  "Could not save the file /home/dhonn/website/arrays.php."

  But on the third try it works just fine.

  Here are the error messages, btw there are also GUI glitches too:
