Well spotted. I've been in 'stat cache hell' (there are some
subtle bugs still to fix - you were right - unix_convert is one
of the *trickiest* pieces of code in Samba :-) so haven't had chance
to look at them.

Sounds good - I know where nmbd does a callout to get
updated browse connections - I'll add the relevent SIGPIPE
handler stuff around these calls.
