samba 2.0.7: option mangled names = no will chrash nt client !

[Andrew Langton]

We have had a similar problem - in our case it was files with / in the file
name - they were created by Macs before we migrated to PCs.  The NT systems
didn't crash, but they couldn't open the files at all.
 
The only way we found around the problem was to rename the files from the
UNIX end.

Hello, 

our customers have directory names with several : in the names (created on
unix). 


These directory's are shown, for example:    test:test is shown as testt~# 


If i switch off mangling on the samba server, i could see the directory
correctly, could go into it, 
could also see the file (even with :) and after 5 seconds the nt client
crashes with blue screen. 


Test on on nt with service pack 3 and on one with service pack 5 (different
machines) 


Our samba server is a Solaris 2.6 machine with 2.0.7 


Some clues
