Sorry I meant this to go to the list rather than solely to Jeff personally.

Jeff,

I fear I'm looking for a needle in a haystack, and I've no idea what
the needle looks like.

I ran Wireshark on my XP host and repeatedly ran the phpunit tests observing:

1. There really is an awful lot of FIND_FIRST2, Pattern: <blah>,
followed immediately by FIND_FIRST2, Files: <blank>. I assume this to
be normal.

2. Occassionally and on a random Pattern argumen, a FIND_FIRST2 or
QUERY_PATH_INFO is followed immediately not by an SMB level response
but by a TCP "microsoft-ds" ACK. The Len is 0 and all other arguments
have values. At this point there may be several seconds of delay
before SMB re-establishes with a Session Set AndX Request, User:
\jgreen then a Tree Connect AndX Request for the mount point being
used.

It feels as though the XP host itself is simply not returning a
response some of the time. Other than changing my password and
rebooting the whole lot I can't think of anything I might have done.

If you have any further tests you'd like me to perform I'll try to
oblige as this is killing my workflow.

Thanks,

James
