The 17-bit length field in the header contains the number of
bytes which follow the header, not the full packet size. [Yes, the length field is either 17-bits, or (per the RFCs) it is a 16-bit length field preceeded by an 8-bit flags field of which only the low-order bit may be used. If that bit is set, then add 65536 to the 16-bit length field. (In other words, it's a 17-bit unsigned length field.) ...unless, of course, the transport is native TCP [port 445] in which case the length field *might* be 24-bits wide.] Anyway, the change is a very minor one. We were including the four bytes of the header in the length count and, as a result, sending four bytes of garbage at the end of the SESSION REQUEST packet. Small fix in function cli_session_request(). (This used to be commit d08471688b65371eb3de73b03a8ffaee86659ba0)
