Odd st_blocks values from smbfs in 2.6.0-test8

Hiya.

I've just installed 2.6.0-test8 -- it works beautifully, but I did notice this odd bit of behaviour from smbfs that I haven't previously seen. It appears that it's producing an odd value for the st_blocks stat value:

$ smbmount //server/share mnt
$ cd mnt
$ echo hello >hello
$ ls -l hello
-rwxr--r--    1 nobody   nogroup         6 Oct 24 22:38 hello
$ stat hello
  File: `hello'
  Size: 6               Blocks: 1048576    IO Block: 4096   regular file
Device: fh/15d  Inode: 1641        Links: 1    
Access: (0744/-rwxr--r--)  Uid: ( 9999/  nobody)   Gid: ( 9999/ nogroup)
Access: 2003-10-24 22:38:58.000000000 +0100
Modify: 2003-10-24 22:38:58.000000000 +0100
Change: 2003-10-24 22:38:58.000000000 +0100
$ du -a hello
524288  hello
$ du -ah hello
512M    hello

The server here's Samba 3.0.1pre1, but it does the same with Samba 2 as well.

Thanks,
