Indeed. It seems to be a Windows 10 only issue. We ran into this with
BackupPC which uses smbclient to connect to Windows machine.

The issue also has been reported in Ubuntu at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1576449 and they
seem to have fixed it, so maybe their fix can be applied to Debian
Stable, too.

According to http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2950-2/ this is not an
issue with Samba directly but with libsoup and the compatibility
between the two packages. Not sure if this also applies to Debian's
case in Jessie, so I'm reluctant to reassigning.
