Yes, I understand now.   What I did was to uninstall and purge the backports version 
of 4.17.3 and all its dependencies in order to put the previous self-compiled version of 
4.17.2 back on.   This was to confirm that the problem was definitely caused by version.4,17.3,

So the solution was to re-install 4.17.3 from backports then upgrade to your version.
That has worked.   And I can confirm that the original problem is fixed.
I can access the share from both Windows and linux:

root at goflex:~# smbclient //goflex/images -U roy

Many thanks for your help.
