Yo All!

Scott McDermott <vaxerdec@frontiernet.net> convinced me the way
to fix my problem with SMBFS was to use the INIT_LIST_HEAD() macro.

This allows SMBFS to compile and may even be correct:

--- sock.c.dist Mon Dec 11 15:26:56 2000
+++ sock.c Mon Dec 11 15:27:03 2000

                 found_data(sk);
                 return;
         }
- job->cb.next = NULL; // gem
+ INIT_LIST_HEAD(&job->cb.list);
         job->cb.sync = 0;
         job->cb.routine = smb_data_callback;
         job->cb.data = job;

I am confused because INIT_LIST_HEAD() sets the next and prev
pointers to point to the current structure. I just have to
assume the list folks know what they are doing and that is why they
made it a macro.

Could someone that knows lists and/or smbfs look at this?
