Hi all,

I have a problem with smbclient from the samba-client-3.0.14a-2 package 
supplied with Fedora Core 2.  It hangs when listing any directory with 
over 36 items in it on one particular Windows XP Professional box I'm 
trying to back up.  If I run smbclient -d 3, I get the following output 
over and over when listing the directory:

received 36 entries (eos=0)
received 36 entries (eos=0)
received 36 entries (eos=0)
received 36 entries (eos=0)
received 36 entries (eos=0)
received 36 entries (eos=0)
received 36 entries (eos=0)
received 36 entries (eos=0)
received 36 entries (eos=0)
received 36 entries (eos=0)
received 36 entries (eos=0)
received 36 entries (eos=0)

Anyone got any clues what might be wrong here?

	Shaun.
