When the world was young, dwpalmer at dwpalm.jf.intel.com carved some

As a quick & dirty test (I don't have much time today; I'm already 
late leaving and it's my birthday!) I just copied 5668 files (about 
109 MB) from an NT4SP3 client to a RedHat 4.2 (kernel 2.0.30) 
running samba 1.9.18p8 with nary a hitch (all files copied 
successfully).  I just dragged a folder over to a samba share in 
windoze exploder.  This probably doesn't make you feel any better, 
but...
