I found a bug in our SPNEGO anonymous session code, and just needed to
test my fix a bit.  I see that you are brave enough to be running HEAD
:-).  Currently Win2k can't do browse syncronistaion with HEAD (from the
Win2k end at least).  

Does that describe the symptoms correctly?  

Chis, does that sound right?

I'll get the patch into the tree as soon as I test it.  For reference,
there is a wonderful little utility called 'browmon' in the Win2k
resource kit.  It allows you to do a browse sync *on demand*, which is
how I debuged this.
