Ok. I had a look at the capture. The stalls seem to be occurring on
FIND_FILE requests. Those are similar to READDIRPLUS requests in NFS,
it returns a list of files that match a particular set of criteria and
their attributes.
Each time the client is making one of these calls to the server, it
requests a set of up to 150 files. The server grinds for 5s each time
and then responds.
The calls themselves seem to be sane AFAICT. I don't see any problems
with the parameters we're sending for the search. I also had a look
over the FIND_FIRST code and it doesn't seem to have any obvious
word size related problems.
I assume that the 32 and 64 bit clients you have are calling "ls" in
the same dir. If so, maybe a similar capture from a 64-bit client might
help us see the difference?
Thanks,
