[Bug 330138] Re: Ubuntu (8.10 with latest patches (patched on 16. Feb. 2009, 8.04.1 without patches) ignores filename cases on cifs-mount in an error-prone manner

[Bugfinder]

I have tested connecting a smbclient 3.0.33 (gentoo) against a samba
server 3.0.33 (gentoo) and it seems to ignore the case (lets me enter
the dokumente folder, but it is able to retrieve the file then -->
ignores case completely, what I also could accept). When I use
mount.cifs (gentoo) and try to change to "dokumente" (the folder's real
name is Dokumente) I get "bash: cd: /mnt/blabla/dokumente: file or
directory not found". Which I would like to be the behaviour of Ubuntu.

Could this be a matter of the cifs-kernel-module's version?

Can't check the exact version of the OpenSuSE 11.1 samba server, but 
http://en.opensuse.org/Samba/Versions_in_SUSE_products
tells that it should be a 3.2.4 server. 

I have tested cifs.mount with a Debian 5.0 client (Samba 3.2.x) against
a samba server 3.0.33 and it prevents me from entering the "dokumente"
folder, which is the right way.
