Steve - all fine with me, but might it not be better not to oops when a
remote server tries to do ExtendedSecurity with us, or when we turn it on?

On another note, I find that the cifs in 2.6.8-rc4 leaks like a sieve. From
/proc/slabinfo I note that cifs_inode_cache consumes all memory. Is it ever
pruned except on umount?

I'm on a 384MB machine, and I compiled with gcc 3.3.4.

Thanks - please cc me as I'm not subscribed to this list.
