Wondering why the very same cifs client does not encounter this error against

Perhaps a Windows client also runs into this error against a Windows 2003 server
but does handle/resolve it.
Well from the kernel logs, it looks like the kernel does try to handle
it, but fails when trying to resolve a servername that still has part of
the share name attached to it.
Look:
fs/cifs/cifssmb.c: Decoding GetDFSRefer response BCC: 261 Offset 56
fs/cifs/cifssmb.c: num_referrals: 2 dfs flags: 0x3 ...
cifs.upcall: key description: dns_resolver;0;0;3f000000;FOXDFT13\C
cifs.upcall: unable to resolve hostname: FOXDFT13\C [Name or service not known]
kernel: [94358.873289] CIFS VFS: dns_resolve_server_name_to_ip: unable to resolve: FOXDFT13\C
CIFS VFS: cifs_compose_mount_options: Failed to resolve server part of
\\FOXDFT13\Company to IP: -126
The full server + share name is "FOXDFT13\Company". It should just resolve
the server name "FOXDFT13", and not leave the "\C" attached to it.
