samba - Mar 2005 - File copying under WIN98

with the Samba3.0.12 release i encountered the following problem :
when i try to copy a file from a samba share to the local disk then the 
process hangs with the windows-message
"Preparing to copy" (my translation from the german message).
In a WIN98-DOS-Windows the copy command hangs too, but the file is created.
The copying from my WIN-XP HOME works.
My previous installed version 3.0.9 worked fine with the same configuration 
(smb.conf)

does anyone have this problem too - and maybe a solution except reinstalling 
old samba ?

Greetings

Jens

I've been able to reproduce this.  Looks like eitehr (a) we
stumbled on a Win98 bug, or (b) more probably we stuffed
the trans2FindNext response.

See

	https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2501

for the actual bug report.  We'll have a patch out later
today.





cheers, jerry

Ok, I screwed up bigtime :-(. This one is my fault. I've attached my
proposed patch but more testing would be welcome.

We'll probably have to do a brown-paper-bag 3.0.13 over this one :-(.

Sorry.

Jeremy.

Hahahaha... I have also been experiencing this too.

Break open a DOS Prompt, try to copy a file from the SAMBA server to the
local machine. it always asks if you wanna overwrite the file.

The file didna exist before the copy, but completely loops through a
transfer. If you hit ALL (Yes, No, All) your network falls overs.
Literally.

Nice one Jeremy!

Oh, BTW any DB you try to open never does either.
