samba - Feb 2003 - Mangling problem

Hi,

I have a strange problem with Samba on RedHat 7.2. In one directory there is
many files with similar long file name (10+ digit file name for many
pictures). When I dir this directory, I can see many files with different
long file name, but with exactly the same short file name. There is about
3-5 files with the same 8.3 DOS file name.

I really don't understand how can it happen and what is cause of that
problem. I have Samba 2.2.3, so I put Samba 2.2.7, but the problem is still
the same. I can't say that is mangling bug within Samba, but I never see
such
situation.

Any ideas?

Have you seen this problem on MS Windows NT4/2000/XP or is it unique to
samba?
