Bug in SMBCLIENT

[Domenico Viggiani]

Thank you for your message.
I really think we have the same problem.
I know that samba team is hiring on the mailing list and it is not a good 
idea writing them directly.

I think that we should prepare a serious test-case and submit it on the list 
again.

Write me if you have other suggestions.

Bye from Italy
