Just wondering if this is a bug...

If I use the Linux 'du' command on a mounted samba share the reported
disc usage is way off (though it seems to report bytes ok with the -b
flag).  Eg. it reports 1.3T of data instead of 2.7G.  Maybe it's a du
bug?

10:13 AM: du -sxh *
1.3T    flac
458G    mp3

10:13 AM: du -sxm *
1337366 flac
468124  mp3

10:13 AM: du -sxb *
2735172988      flac
956832538       mp3

When logged in to the server by ssh, usage is reported correctly:

fileserver:/mnt/hda8/ripped# du -sxh *
2.6G    flac
915M    mp3

Both client and server are running Debian testing.
