AFAIK, the only cases in which servers will return short names 
are the following:

1) the underlying filesystem (some versions of FAT e.g.) does 
not support longnames for which mangling the name is the only choice
other than rejecting the create or mkdir

2) as the alt name in some of the higher levels of FindFirst (the non-mangled
name is also typically returned)

3) (for Samba at least) when the filename contains what is considered
an illegal character (such as <>\/:)

Presumably it could be a bug in the server handling of the longnames 
flag in the header but I have not seen that.

Which server?
