Hello Dan,

This is indeed a bug. This was however fixed in a patch which came in
later in the series. This patch replaces CIFS_SessSetup(). 
https://git.samba.org/?p=sfrench/cifs-2.6.git;a=commit;h=f877b1fa0ebe6074694721562072106d542e44e1

It looks like the patch wasn't included in Steve's test tree when you
ran your tests. I believe we no longer require a fix for this particular
issue in Steve's tree which now contains the entire series.
