Thanks a lot!

In my testing, this patch applied against 2.6.14-rc4 fixed all problems I observed.

Adrian,
Thanks for the info.  Our testing looked good too.

In the development tree for cifs we are working on reducing buffer usage (a good first step is already checked in) and enabling additional important security features (NTLMv2 and Kerberos for newer more secure clients and also an option to configure and mount for allowing lanman and plaintext sessionsetup to allow mounts to older legacy servers).
