Here goes:

Helix: NT4 server, SP6, 200MHz Pentium, 96MB, 100Mb/s network circuit
Dell: W2000 workstation, SP2, 700MHz P3, 256MB, 100Mb/s network circuit
Golux: RH7.1, Samba 2.2.2, 100MHz 486, 40MB, 10Mb/s network circuit.

Helix (NT4 server) has corresponding shares Admin, Apps, Common, Data, each
containing a few hundred Mb.

Golux is visible to Helix and Dell in Network Neighborhood.

On Helix (as Administrator), open Admin in My Computer, select all and copy
(ctl-A, ctl-C). Open Network Neighbourhood, navigate to \\Golux\Admin and
ctl-V to copy over. Repeat for Apps and Common so there are now three
simultaneous copies running from Helix to Golux.

On Dell (as User), so the same for Data, so now a fourth copy process is
running from Helix to Golux through Dell.

(It makes no difference whether or not the Golux shares are mapped to
drives).

After a few minutes, all the copies on Helix appear to hang. One then times
out. One or both of the remaining ones then continue to run. The copy from
Dell remains uninterrupted. If Dell is booted into NT4 rather than W2000 and
an identical test performed, it runs to completion.

On 2.2.2, the share (see smb.conf above) appears as the user name under
Network Neighborhood. On CVS2_2, it is not present. For a test, replacing %S
with my username in path fixed this (i.e. path = /home/tda/pchome). So it
looked as if %S was set to something different in the CVS code.
