Taking the liberty to reply on-list, to draw some attention to this.
Yes, the diff is supposed to fix the many files in dir problem in
samba. From your post it is not clear if you actually tested the diff
(or have used a snapshot, the diff is included in recent snaps). So
please try to reproduce this, and report back.
While the memroy leak should be gone, there might still be a
performance problem with large dirs. I have something up my sleave to
solve the potential performance problem as well.
