Checking in to see whether there's anything I can clarify or do to help get
this compatibility patch merged. If reproducing the issue is a problem due
to lack of Windows Server 2k3 availability, I can capture a wire trace that
shows the non-compliant referral behavior of that implementation. Please
let me know.
