I've got some directories that contain a number of other directories whose
names are all 9 digits long. Here's the output of dir /X (the /X option
shows 8.3 filenames) for one of the directories:
f:\sdf1\stage2\cj02>dir /X
Volume in drive F is archiveclean
Volume Serial Number is 156A-70DD
Directory of f:\sdf1\stage2\cj02

Now, you'll notice that a number of these directories have the same short
filename. Using UNIX shell utilities, I count 93 directories, but only 63
unique 8.3 names. Specificly, the directories 199500631 and 199500694 have
the same 8.3 filename, also 199500633 and 199500696. Obviously, this is a
problem (WinNT apparently gives applications the short filename when you
drop a file on an application shortcut).
I'm running Samba version 2.0.4a with the 2.0.4b patch applied (plus my
other patches, none of which touch the 8.3 generation code as far as I
know).
