Title:
  cifs.mount: mapchars + utf8 = loop

Status in samba:
  In Progress
Status in cifs-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: samba

  Mounting a SMB share with option "mapchars" gives odd effects with
  folder names with non-ascii characters, eg. Polish national ones
  (ąćęłńóśźż): the only contents of such a folder is the same folder
  itself.

  good (without mapchars):
  $ sudo mount -t cifs //win2003server/whatever whatever -o credentials=/secret,iocharset=utf8
  $ ls whatever
  sprzęt
  $ ls whatever/sprzęt
  file1   file2

  wrong (with):
  $ sudo mount -t cifs //win2003server/whatever whatever -o credentials=/secret,iocharset=utf8,mapchars
  $ ls whatever
  sprzęt
  $ ls whatever/sprzęt
  sprzęt
  $ ls -l whatever/sprzęt/sprzęt
  ls: cannot access whatever/sprzęt/sprzęt: No such file or directory

  in both cases:
  $ env |grep LANG
  LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8
  GDM_LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8
  $ uname -a
  Linux lapsus 2.6.26-5-generic #1 SMP Fri Aug 15 13:54:58 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

  Ubuntu 8.10 desktop, upgraded daily.
