smbclient cuts off first letter

[Christof Janssen]

Hello all,

I am using samba-client-2.2.5-124 on a Suse Linux 8.1 to backup files from 
various PCs and Macs. Connection to Windows XP and MacOS9 (supported by DAVE) 
works fine. Connection to Win98, however, seems to cause problems. Upon 
sending the ls command after logon with smbclient the first letter of each 
file name is cut off (see the listing below, where the file names should be 
lab, igor exp, ext, lib, math and important). The same results upon 
connection to another WIN98 machine.

dxpc7:/home/xxx # smbclient \\\\PC98\\jn
added interface ip=10.1.9.36 bcast=10.1.15.255 nmask=255.255.240.0
