You're on the right track with the PR, and Jim Carroll did the hard work
of coming up with a patch for the issue. Unfortunately I haven't had the
chance to test the patch, but will try and make time to...
I'd imagine this is probably too late to get into 6.2 (any dev's care to
comment?), but if we're able to test + verify it works then I don't see
why it shouldn't make 6.3.
SMBFS could still use a bit of polish in areas... there are also UCS2
patches outstanding that would make talking to MacOSX servers much more
pleasant:
