I'm sorry, but this was a bad decision. Period. Release schedule or no release schedule, this is a showstopper. It's not like a buggy version of minesweeper - we're talking about oopsing the kernel with something as widely used (and depended upon in enterprise environments) as Samba mounts. How can you *possibly* expect business to take you seriously when you release something like this? There was plenty of time between the reports and final for this to be fixed and tested. Not one single Mdk developer ever even replied to the reports. Whomever made this decision should have to wear a dunce cap. Stupidity personified. Unbelievable. -- Brad Felmey
