Upper limit on browselist?

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

peter, i think what is supposed to happen is that the SMB protocl responds
"Errbuffertosmall".

then, the client -- if it's an NT client -- will use a DCE/RPC
NetServerEnum call instead.

except that there are so few sites doing massive browse lists, it's not
really going to come up very often!

SMB limit is 64k.
