CVS update: samba/source/client

[Matt Chapman]

This commit broke smbclient in a big way.

* Incomplete directory listings (all files present I think, but most
  directories omitted.).
* Errors getting files (usually server returns non-specific ERRSRV on Egetattr).
* smbclient -L doesn't prompt for password.
* A couple of other minor glitches.

I will look into it; this definitely needs fixing soon.
