TCP_NODELAY problem

[David L. Aldridge]

smbclient is broken if TCP_NODELAY is enabled.
I am running FreeBSD 2.2.7 Stable.

1. Enable socket options = TCP_NODELAY
2. Run smbclient to access a share on a Win95 box
3. Turn 'recurse' on
4. cd to a directory that contains one directory and no files
5. Do a dir
6. The files which live in the directory below the default directory 
   will not be seen.
7. Eliminate TCP_NODELAY and they will be found as they should.  
   However life slows to a craws without TCP_NODELAY.
8. I found this because Amanda was consistently missing the same files 
   on backup.

9. Please see the debug data below.  You will note that the path 
   being examined is:  (note the ' ' - not good!!!)
   aol30\ne t\*
   The correct path is:
   aol30\net\*

   smb_vwv[12]=93 (0x5D)
   smb_vwv[13]=1 (0x1)
   smb_vwv[14]=1 (0x1)
   smb_bcc=28
   [000] 00 44 20 16 00 00 02 0E  00 04 01 00 00 00 00 5C  .D ............\
   [010] 61 6F 6C 33 30 5C 6E 65  74 5C 2A 00              aol30\ne t\*.
   write_socket(3,97)
   write_socket(3,97) wrote 97
   got smb length of 356
