Yes, this browsing problem also occured in Japanese environment.
Developing Samba Japanese Edition, we, Samba Users Group Japan could
not help adjusting and moving the unix_to_dos/dos_to_unix() call to

In point of modifying Samba codes to support international characters,
this problem is critical,  but unfortunately it is not for the people
using ASCII characters only.

If Samba 3.0 would use UCS-2 as its internal code, a part of this
problem would be solved, but NOT all.
