[Samba] nt status support

On 2.2.8a, why does "nt status support = yes" make the volume label on
mapped drives equal to 3 consecutive boxes. Turning "nt status support
= no" makes the volume label exactly as it should be.

These are XP machines with SP-1 that are having the problem. Win2k SP-4
machines did not have the problem regardless of setting.

Will this happen in 3.0.[01]? (I'm testing it later today....) What might
break as a result of having this off? Would this option have an impact on
Excel spreadsheets being shared in an office environment?
