	What does Windows assume?   Certainly not that it can continue
	to write past the end of the disk (;-))

	When I overfill a floppy on my wife's machine, the last file present
	is the last one which fit...  is this what you're referring to?

	If so, and assuming identical clients, there may be a difference 
	in what NT reports to the client versis Samba... can you capture
	the differening netwrok sessions, perchance? If so, you'll
	probably want to mail them in as a bug report via
	 http://us1.samba.org/samba/bugreports.html
