If I change "case sensitive" to yes, this problem is fixed, but if I 
make in the windows-C-file a simple _findfirst() the same behavior appears.
If I makt it to a Dir with 2 files, every file will be opened at least 
one time. Why opens samba this files? for only _findfirst() the files 
musn't be opened or?
and if I make a tcpdump, I see that windows(the client) doesn't ask to 
open this files, there are only <50 packets for 16000 files.



Thanks in advance
