[linux-cifs-client] mount.cifs hangs everytime mounting an inexistant share is attempted

[Steven French]

Is this cifs version 1.20c (this sounds a bug hat was fixed already)?

If I do:

mount.cifs //server/inexistant_share /mount/point

I'll get a rogue cifsd process in the machine which will suck 100% CPU 
*and* a flood of packets will be sent to the server, basically taking 
both machines off the network until the client is rebooted since even 
kill -9 fails to get rid of the rogue cifsd process.

I'm using the latest iteration of the cifs code in a 2.4.22 kernel. Does 
this also happen in kernel 2.6? I've reproduced this bug with samba 
3.0.2, windows servers (nt4, 2000, 2003) and it happens every time.

Any ideas? Thanks.
