It's the sort of thing that decc$to_vms might be provoked into if
DECC$FILENAME_UNIX_ONLY were set. I suspect folks will be in for a
whole heap of grief, if these things start getting set system wide, 
however backwards compatible the defaults are.

This is only speculation though; I haven't got a convenient test install,
and I've kind of lost track on the name mangling algorithms in Samba/VMS.
It would help to know what the settings of DECC* are on the system in 
question, as Bernard noted.
