That's because I haven't thrown the 'big red switch' in
the HEAD branch that will cause it to announce itself
as having NT SMB support yet. NT SMB support does seem to
work, but I was going to do a little more work before
changing that parameter.
But you've persuaded me - I'll do it asap :-).

Shouldn't make a difference really. The NT4 SP4 problems
are probably due to something else.
