Long share names and WinNT --- BUG since 2.2.0

[James Nord]

Hi all,

NT4.0 (3.5??)  has a bug which will will fail with > 12(?) characters if 
the server/client use a non unicode charset to define the shares.

(Sorry can't find the relevent KB article but I'm sure this has been 
brough up before.)

I'm am positive that this was an issue in 2.0.x as well.

Was 2.2.x supposed to return unicode to NT clients that supported it now?
I didn't see this in the release notes.
