Thanks, this shows (in the NegProt request) that the client is correctly
requesting the "Samba" dialect, which should be enough to trigger case
sensitivity *if* the client requests it.

However, a look at the SMB header shows that the 'case insensitive' flag,
FLAG_CASELESS_PATHNAMES, is being set by the client; so the client is
deliberately *not* negotiating case-sensitive filenames.

This is a libsmbclient bug.  Samba client connections are case-insensitive
by default; libsmbclient, as a library intended to present a POSIX-like
interface to applications, should override this default, but doesn't.

The attached patch should address this, but I want to get this approved by
upstream first before applying it in Debian.
