Wow, happy to hear that my guess hit the root. :-)

There are a few things we know are missing before we can
offer the enablement switch. These relate to cannel failures
while smb traffic is in flight. (channel sequence numbers and
protection for oplock breacks, to name the most important ones.)

We are working on these and plan to bring them and also
the config switch into 4.4 before 4.4.0 final!
