[Samba] 64-bit Windows advanced server 2003 hangs

[Kyle Davenport]

I've finally narrowed down the conditions for this ; it is very
reproducible.   It is only 64-bit Windows 2003 (not 32-bit)  and the
problem started when I upgraded from linux kernel 2.4.22 to 2.4.25.  I
verified there is no problem when I go back to 2.4.22.  The pcap files I am
sending to security at samba.org are the same operation done on the share
using 2.4.22 or 2.4.25.  You can see there is no response from DWDEV64 in
the 2.4.25 capture - because it is DEAD!

Steps to reproduce:
1.  smbmount share
2. cd to mounted share
3. ls in top directory works
4. ls some sub-directory hangs the box

Curiously I also noticed that from a 32-bit win2k box, if I map the 64-bit
Win2003 drive, and I go there in a DOS shell, it will not let me cd to a
sub-directory.  It returns the error message "Invalid Directory"

Can you please get an ethereal capture trace of this problem and
send it to security at samba.org. We need to be able to produce a binary
using the smbclient code that can reproduce this so we can send it to
Microsoft and get them to fix it.

Thanks,
