Hi, linux-developers!

I have a strange problem with SMBFS. When name of the _last_ file in the
directory of SAMBA disk is too long, 'ls' shows garbage on such directory,
but all files in it are accessable. A discovered that it takes place when
L2-L1>=20 (see figure below). If file is not last in the directory or
is situated at the root of SAMBA disk, then all works Ok. It is not a
server problem - smbclent and Windows 95/NT can see such directory.

What is this???

Figure: /dir/.../dir/dir/.../dir/filename
\_________/ \_________/ \______/
SMB disk is Path on Last file
mounted here SMB disk name
(L1 chars) (L2 chars)
