That's why it's not called mc-4.6 yet.

That's very strange, considering that smbfs_stat only takes pointers.  My 
experience is that debuggers cannot generally be trusted when strange 
things happen.  Only debug printing can be fully trusted.  I'm sorry that 
I'll be very busy during this week, but you are welcome to fix the problem 
and commit the change, just don't forget to inform the list about it.

Sorry for that.

You can use "--disable-largefile" to check that it's really not related.  
I would also try different versions of Windows and the latest Samba 
server.
