The error in smb_get_length is unusual -- it looks like some kind of a
network problem. Also, it appears that somehow your smbmount process got
killed, so that smbfs is unable to get a new connection.

On the assumption that Win 95 OSR2 is somewhat different, I've made a
change in the proc_readdir_long call and will upload an updated smbfs
patch shortly.

Thanks for your continued help in testing ...

Regards,
Bill
