Patch for slow smbclient performance

[David Collier-Brown]

Jean Francois Micouleau spotted it:
  The packets were being fragmented and then reassembeled
and the PC either was really slow doing so, or there
were lost fragments, requiring the whole darn packet to be 
retransmitted, much as you suggested.

 Playing with socket options TCP_MSS and TCP_MAXGSEG might 
be the better way, according to Stevens.

  They sure didn't grok path MTU discovery!
