[Samba] File listing problems in 3.0.13

[Cale Fairchild]

I have looked into this further and need to ammend the reported problems. It 
seems that on servers which have issues regarding this problem it was 
introduced with version 3.0.12 not 3.0.13.

Interestingly enough I installed it on an IRIX server (same OS version) that 
has never had Samba installed on it and both 3.0.12 and 3.0.13 work fine. I 
have used the same smb.conf file on both and have the same directory structure 
in the shared folder.

On the server that demonstrates problems the file listing problem does not 
seem to be limited to a newly created directory, in fact it seems that the 
directory count interally in Samba comes back short. I looked at the level 5 
logs of the same server running 3.0.11 and then 3.0.12 and here are the only 
noticable differences

---

Is there a possiblity that the second value in 
'dirptr=(0x1048C7F0,2019361245)'  has overflowed?

I also just noticed that dptr_create seems to have replaced start_dir so I will 
take a look at that code.

If anyone else is having this problem it would be good to know. Also any 
suggestions on where else to look would be appreciated.

Thanks.
