[Bug 662361] [NEW] Maverick 64Bit Desktop Edition corrupts files on samba network shares

[franco_bez]

Public bug reported:

I can always reproduce the bug, on any samba share, even on shares that
reside on the same machine:

In Nautilus I right-click on a folder and chose "file sharing options"
to make it a writable share.

Then, again in Nautilus, I navigate to "network" and mount the share by
clicking on it and supplying username and password.

I created a new file on the share "sample.txt" with the following content:
01 sample line of text
02 sample line of text
03 sample line of text
04 sample line of text
05 sample line of text
06 sample line of text
07 sample line of text
08 sample line of text
09 sample line of text
10 sample line of text

Then I removed the lines 02 up to 05 from the file and hit save. Editor shows:
01 sample line of text
06 sample line of text
07 sample line of text
08 sample line of text
09 sample line of text
10 sample line of text

When I reopen the file the new content is:
01 sample line of text
06 sample line of text
07 sample line of text
08 sample line of text
09 sample line of text
10 sample line of text
07 sample line of text
08 sample line of text
09 sample line of text
10 sample line of text

I tried several editors, several servers providing SAMBA shares (Ubuntu Hardy, Windows Vista, and my Maverick notebook)
The result is always the same.

A very, very nasty bug.
