Thanks, that was the interesting part.  This is exactly the situation I
failed to reproduce, but now I found out why.  Apparently newer Samba
versions perform a few parameter checks in certain file-related calls,
not performed by older Samba, nor by NTFS or FAT drivers.

Anyway, I have a fix for that.  You didn't explicitely allow to send
a test DLL, so I just applied the patch to CVS.  Please test the next
developer snapshot.


Thanks,
Corinna
