BUG: case sensitive = no, CPU utilization

[Bayhi Ingona]

Full_Name: Bayhi Ingona
Samba_Version: 3.0alpha22
Server_OS: Debian 3.0r1 + Kernel 2.4.20
Client_OS: Windows XP + SP1


If "case sensitive = no", Samba crawls when a program on the client 
machine tries to scan through every file in a directory that contain lots 
of files (+3000).  A scanning operation that only takes a minute and a 
half to complete when "case sensitive = yes" takes over two and a half 
hours if "case sensitive = no".  On the serving machine, smbd sits on +99% 
CPU utilization, and other unrelated Samba+client operations come to a 
stand still.  Nothing like this happens when "case sensitive = yes".
