Setting "large readwrite = no" has a dramatic impact but not the
one desired. After mounting the share the icon was that of a dir
instead of that of a shared drive. Clicking on it turned the cursor
to an hourglass for a long time and after about 30s there was the
correct icon for shared drive but also a pop-up error message:

   "X:\ cannot be accessed.
    The network name is no more available."

On the other hand setting "use sendfile = no" solved the problem
entirely.

Thank you Jeremy
