Yeah.  Urban caught that too.  I should know better.

It sill leaves the question... if the maximum data size is 65535, then 
what is the MaxCountHigh for?  There's no reason to use more than 16 bits 
if 64K is the limit.

Also, the SMB_COM_WRITE_ANDX request has a DataLengthHigh field (which is
a USHORT, by the way...geez):

  USHORT DataLengthHigh;    High 16 bits of data length if 
                            CAP_LARGE_WRITEX; else MUST BE ZERO

Once again, that suggests that you could send a write of more than 64K.
The thing is, the SMB_COM_WRITE_ANDX response does *not* have an extension
field according to the docs:

  USHORT Count;   Number of bytes written

So the server can only report up to 64K written.  There's no way to report 
that more than 64K were written unless one of the Reserved fields is 
actually the upper 16 bits of the Count.

I hate this.  :^l

When I looked at the jCIFS code I did not find the 
SMB_COM_READ_ANDX.MaxCountHigh field defined.
