No joke. 64-bit Windows Advanced Server 2003 blue-screens on file share access. I was using Samba 3.0 on RH8 to routinely access windows shares. When I upgraded from 2.4.22 to 2.4.25, any attempt to access a sub-directory of a share mounted from 64-bit Win2003, immediately crashes windows. I rolled back to 2.4.22 and no crash. I tried 2.4.25 against a 32-bit 2003 Win2003, and no crash. I didn't test different versions of Samba. But on 2.4.25, trying to ls a sub-directory of the mounted share or cd to that sub-directory, instantly and repeatedly blue-screens windows.
I have no idea how the kernel change could be causing this. Seems to me like it should depend entirely on Samba. I did attempt to reproduce the problem with tcp-replay. I sent the identical tcp/ip packets involved without crashing windows. Apparently share authentication is required.
My company has informed Microsoft of the problem, weeks ago, but I am getting tired of waiting for a fix.
Congrats to everyone involved!
