Interestingly enough, there's already been a statement from Terry
Lambert about the problem, and it's documented in comment 22:

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4715#c22

Additionally, the bug seems to imply that a future release of Samba will
simply disable the entire BSD-specific workaround, addressing the issue
of missing files -- but will have a tremendous impact on performance
when it comes to directories with many files.

In general, I really don't like the direction that bug is going.  By
that I mean, it gives me the impression that there's a ton of
OS-specific code within the daemon, and the solution for them may be to
add *another* layer of abstraction (by detecting the specific filesystem
used on a share, and using different code per filesystem).  I think this
is bad.

Julian, has there been any progress to resolve this outside of what's
shown in the bug?  I see your name mentioned in comment #6...  :-)
