I'll try to get to it this weekend. But there are other patches back up,
plus the issues mentioned below.

The patch as submitted is only part of the battle. Another task is to work
out the need regression test changes to detect the problem. That has to be
done first, before the fixes are applied, so that the regression test
changes can be tested.

I've then also got to hand merge the final changes into the i18n version of
the code. It has been refactored to such a great extent that automatic
merges won't work.

Also, thought has to go into the issue of the result if it is an computer
name only without a share name. See Martin Bonner's posting.
