As a quick & dirty test (I don't have much time today; I'm already
late leaving and it's my birthday!) I just copied 5668 files (about
109 MB) from an NT4SP3 client to a RedHat 4.2 (kernel 2.0.30)
running samba 1.9.18p8 with nary a hitch (all files copied
successfully). I just dragged a folder over to a samba share in
windoze exploder. This probably doesn't make you feel any better,
but...
