I plan to get that fix in as soon as I can, but it will be a little
while before it can go in. The Linux CIFS client has apparently been
doing this for a long time. This will probably cause most of the
existing Linux CIFS clients in the field to break, not just the newly
shipped ones from Red Hat. It's also not unlikely that there are other
clients that do the same thing that we're not aware of...
