Since 1.6.0102 (1.6.1pre3)
* Workaround Win7 SMB Reconnect Bug
The SMB specification permits the server to save a round trip
in the GSS SPNEGO negotiation by sending an initial security blob.
Unfortunately, doing so trips a bug in Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2
whereby the SMB 1.x redirector drops the blob on the floor after
the first connection to the server and simply attempts to reuse
the previous authentication context. This bug can be avoided by
the server sending no security blob in the SMB_COM_NEGOTIATE
response. This forces the client to send an initial GSS init_sec_context
blob under all circumstances which works around the bug in Microsoft's
code.
As a result of the SMB 1.x bug, all attempts to reconnect fail due to
SMB connection resets. The SMB 1.x redirector will retry indefinitely
but all processes with outstanding requests to \\AFS will block until
the machine is rebooted.
There were no 1.6.1pre1 and pre2 builds for the Windows platform.
Since 1.6.0002 (1.6.0b)
