Oops, my mistake. When I looked at svnweb, I saw the first log
entry for smbfs_subr.c listing "MFC: r228796", but didn't notice
the second "MFC: r227650" and thought it hadn't been MFC'd.

All I can tell you is that wireshark shows "\file" for the good.tcpdump
vs "\\afile" for bad.tcpdump, so I guessed that was why the Mac didn't
find it?

I'll leave now, since I know nothing about SMB, rick
