samba - May 2002 - [BUG] smbfs crashes when listing dir with sepcecial character

Hi,

[I'm not subscribed to this list, so please CC me, or agt least CC me to
tell
you don't CC ;)]

I've found a bug in smbfs (kernel 2.4.18-SuSE here, both precompiled and 
selfcompiled show this prob).
If I try to list a directory on an smbshare on a windows xp box, that contains 
the character ->'<- (accent tegue(?)), the listing process will crash
with
sig11 and all later processes tying to access the share will hang in state D 
(unkillable).

The above mentioned char is in windows european (german) encoding. under linux 
it shows as a different character, cygwin on the xp box escapes it as \264 
(eg ls test\264xy.txt).

I've tared and gzipped a sample file on the windows box, in the hope that it
doesn't get mangled and you get the original file.

I'm happy to send more information, if you need.

Best Regards,
        Atmos
