[linux-cifs-client] Problem creating long filenames using mapchars

[Don Riden]

I am having trouble using long filenames using a cifs client and the 
mapchars option.

Mounted with mapchars set:

(Creating files with long filenames containing ":" fails but a slightly 
shorter version does not)

kalmik:/data1# touch 
/data1/evolution/config/.et-expanded-file:_home_carol.johnston_evolution_local_Activity_Plans.ZvQAJm
touch: cannot touch 
`/data1/evolution/config/.et-expanded-file:_home_carol.johnston_evolution_local_Activity_Plans.ZvQAJm': 
No such file or directory

touch 
/data1/evolution/config/.et-expanded-file:_home_carol.johnston_evolution_local_Activity_Plans

works fine

Mounted without mapchars:

(Creating a file with a long filename works)

touch 
/data1/evolution/config/et_expanded_file_home_carol_johnston_evolution_local_Activity_PlansZvQAJm


Is there some built in character limit when using mapchars that I have 
missed?

I am using a vanilla 2.6.12.1 Kernel and Samba 3.0.14a on Debian Sarge.

Any help would be much appreciated.
