Derrell Lipman 40665edf5e r18011: Should fix bug 3835.
Jeremy: requires your eyes...

If the remote connection timed out while cli_list() was retrieving its list of
files, the error was not returned to the user, e.g. via smbc_opendir(), so the
user didn't have a way to know to set the timeout longer and try again.  This
problem would occur when a very large directory is being read with a too-small
timeout on the cli.

Jeremy, although there were a couple of areas that needed to be handled, I
needed to make one change that you should bless, in libsmb/clientgen.c.  It
was setting

  cli->smb_rw_error = smb_read_error;

but smb_read_error is zero, so this had no effect.  I'm now doing

  cli->smb_rw_error = READ_TIMEOUT;

instead, and according to the OP, these (cumulative) changes (in a slightly
different form) solve the problem.

Please confirm this smb_rw_error change will have no other adverse effects
that you can see.

Some simple example programs for libsmbclient ...

testsmbc.c is kinda broken as it has many hardcoded bits in it

testbrowse.c opens a remote folder and displays its contents

teststat.c allows comparing the results of smbc_stat() against a local stat() of
the same file.

tree.c is an example of how you might do some of these things with GTK+
It needs lots of work but shows you some ways to use libsmbclient.

smbwrapper implements the old smbsh/smbwrapper mechanism using libsmbclient, in
such a way that it works on Linux
