Hi All,

We are using product which is running samba 3.6.12 stack. When we attempt
to delete a directory (having 500+  files) from windows command prompt, it
is failing with "directory not empty" error. But deletion from explorer is
fine.

X:\>rmdir /S /Q test2
The directory is not empty.

Issue is consistently reproducible. I have raised bug (
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10516) for this issue already
and updated my findings.

Just want to check if this is a known issue and has been addresses in
latest releases.

Thanks,
Hemanth.
