Well it's a big mistake on Apples part. We've complained about
this before. They are the *only* vendor who did this. If this
is "thinking different" then they can keep it :-).

I'm afraid that Apple will have to fix this for their Samba3.0.
It won't get fixed for 3.0. For 3.0.1 we could add something
that detects running on Mac and #ifdefs out that part of the
code, but that's a very ugly solution that makes the code
much less readable.

As I do more profiling I can't guarentee that more fast
path code won't be added in exactly this way. Having to
disable it just for one intransigent vendor is a great pain.
