I just want to apologize for going so far overboard. I identified a
potential type of issue, and then kept expanding the scope without
finding a concrete problem or reproducer. That's a definite
overcorrection; I tried to fix things that have no known impact in
practice ('malicious SMB1 server' is a pretty weak threat).
And as you noted, I relied too heavily on AI assistance; that's on
me. I'll be more careful about both the scope of what I do and how
I get there.
I'll obviously withdraw this
Frank
