Hi,

I would be very please to have your patch on cifs-1.48.
I don't know when 5.1 will be release but I have to change all cifs-1.34
to cifs-1.48a to try fix the issue with my machine, so before that I
think I go with 5.0 and your patch, Akemi.

I know this should be on samba mailing list, I use samba-3.0.25 now
should I move to 3.0.25b to get the better of cifs-1.48a?

Thank you
