I believe that I already answered this, but the IIS6/Jet issue has nothing
to do with Opportunistic Locking. The issue is entirely within the Jet db
drivers. I would urge you to run IISState against the w3wp.exe process and
post the log so that we can confirm what you have.

So,

the next time w3wp.exe stops responding run:

iisstate -p <pid of w3wp.exe> <enter>

And post the log.
