I just finished writing something up about that.  See:

  http://ubiqx.org/cifs/SMB.html#SMB.5

Basically, DOS codes originally mapped to the DOS format, which had a
one-byte error class and a two-byte error code.  OS/2 used the same
format, and what we call DOS codes are really OS/2 codes.  originally DOS
knew about only a limited set of codes, and OS/2 expanded on that set.  
The codes we call DOS codes are really OS/2 codes because they include the
additions made by OS/2.

NT_STATUS codes are four-byte.
