The server hates you.


This patch includes a change to findfirst/findnext, used to list
directories, to make them look almost the same as win2k:

http://www.hojdpunkten.ac.se/054/samba/smbfs-2.4.19-rc1-ALL.patch.gz

This is known to fix a problem with randomly missing files from win2k 
listings (but one failure report with NT4).

There is some other stuff in there too so be careful when you test it.
Please report back how it works.
