samba - Sep 2001 - Weird samba mount issue

I ran into this today:

When I mount a share on a Windows 2000 PC with mount -t smbfs, it succeeds.
But then I can see only 380 files on that share! Trying with smbclient, I can
list all the files (over 8000 of them). What could be the problem? 

What is funny though, is that all the files that are listed does not begin with
[A-Za-z].

I've seen this before, and it had me stumped for quite a long time. 
I've
noticed that Samba doesn't parse directory contents very well when strange
characters are contained in a filename, such as tab, filenames starting with
a space, etc...  Check the directory for any such files and rename them to a
normal name.  That should fix the browse view.
