MUP.SYS and SAMBA Interoperability

gentleman,
I'd like to report a bug (very likely M$ one, but yeah...)
Last week we have discovered that clicking on "non existent" SAMBA share
causes direct crash of XP SP2 and more recent M$ OS'es (2003 SP2, R2 etc.).
The result is same...client reboots and when it comes back it recovers
from a "serious error".
Machine1: Error code 1000007e, parameter1 c0000005, parameter2 80881b5e,
parameter3 f78e6b80, parameter4 f78e687c.
Machine2: Error code 1000007e, parameter1 c0000005, parameter2 804e1928,
parameter3 b9f10c58, parameter4 b9f10954.
I have analysed minidumps from from both machines and discovered that
Mup.Sys is causing the reboot.
MUP.SYS (MUP = Multiple UNC Provider)

To reproduce it simply create a samba share with similar settings:
[frabwinxp]
comment = local home directories
path = /export/home3/%S
valid users = %S @admins
read only = no
browseable = yes
msdfs root = yes
admin users = @admins
dos filemode = yes
create mask = 0774
directory mask = 0774
inherit permissions = yes
follow symlinks = yes
strict allocate = yes
msdfs root = yes
Where /export/home3/%S does not exist. Upon restarting of Samba, the
share will appear from Windows explorer on clients
(\\%servername\frabwinxp) but is of course inaccessible since the path
does not exist. Clicking on the share twice from Microsoft explorer will
(amazingly enough) cause BSOD and/ or reboot of the XP SP2 clients and
2003 Server SP1, R2.
Solution:
On affected clients I have added the following key to the registry and
rebooted:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Mup
DisableDFS: REG_DWORD: range: 0 or 1
Default: 1
1=Enabled, 0=Disabled thus default value "1" disables the MUP. Once you
reboot the problem is away.
If you change it back again to 0 and reboot clicking on "non-existent"
samba share will crash clients with aforementioned OS's.
Anyway, it may be something you know about, just thought I post it in
case you haven't come across the problem yet.
regards,
Ladislav.
