Thanks for this link, indeed the Mac client I saw this happen on had
ADmitMac (by Thursby Software) installed. 

This clearly does not work anymore, perhaps their software has changed
or perhaps the Apple smbfs has changed, no idea. Who's in charge of this
code in trans2.c ?  We have figured out this problem with a bit of luck,
I'd hate for others to stumble on the same issue again. I wonder if
Thursby guys are aware of it at all.
