We point out that measurements of longitudinal $\Lambda$ polarization in the target fragmentation region of deep--inelastic $\nu \,N$ and $\mu \,N$ or $e \, N$ scattering may test dynamical mechanisms invoked to explain the proton spin puzzle. A previously-proposed model for polarized $\bar s s$ pairs in the proton wave function reproduces successfully the negative $\Lambda$ polarization found in the WA59 $\bar \nu \, N$ experiment, and makes predictions that could be tested in future $\mu \, N$ and $e \, N$ experiments.
