samba - Nov 2000 - samba and network appliance boxes

I was wondering if anyone might have any information on why
directory listsings on a network appliance box would fail.

Here's (what I hope is) the relevant information.

netapp release  number: 5.3.6R2
samba Version: 2.0.7-3
arch: i386
my os: debian/gnu linux (2.2)
/var/log/messages/output:
Nov 21 09:42:38 localhost kernel: smb_proc_readdir_long: Looping in FIND_NEXT??
Nov 21 09:42:38 localhost kernel: smb_refill_dircache: readdir failed, result=-5

I've been hunting around on deja and what not and haven't really
seen much helpful info. 

Thanks for any help.

Why is everyone using NetApp's now ... ? :)
It should be possible to get this to work.

2.2.what?

Try upgrading to 2.2.18-pre22 (unless 2.2.18 is out)
(see http://www.hojdpunkten.ac.se/054/samba/pre-patches.html
 - corrections/improvements welcome)

And possibly also the patch below, comment says it all. Then let me (the
list) know if this improves anything.
