I compiled samba with the patch from the samba bug tracker.
I installed the new smbclient deb and smbclient ls's on my 2.2.8 server worked properly as they should (no last letter missing). Then I installed the new libsmbclient deb (what gvfs-smb uses) and now the shares work properly in nautilus.

I'm attaching just the libsmbclient deb I made, no guarantees on it as I'm no expert in this field (nor really having any prior knowledge before today). But if you're like me and regretting upgrading and not having anyhope of a fix anytime soon then maybe it will help you out. I didn't change the version number or anything like that so you will have to "reinstall" the new deb. May need to logout or do "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart" or whatever.

If you need the fixed smbclient deb for some reason then just ask.

FuseSMB is still flakey/broken for me, I switched to smbnetfs (and I like it better) and it is working but I have still had it crash a bit (fuse bug?).

To any devs: This patch seems to fix the original problem, would be awesome to have it in ubuntu sooner rather than waiting for it to come down from upstream.
