DL>    SearchCount = FINDBUFENTRIES;

The third message (where I suspect DosFindFirst was eventually called)
never made it to my system.

Q: Are you searching for more than one file at a time with FindFirst()?

This is clearly more efficient,  but I HAVE seen a bug with this,  ONLY on
remote drives,  with MS LanMan 2.x,  which shares most of its code with LS
3.0.

The bug is something like this:  If you ask for 100 files,  it will return,
say , 50 files but incorrectly update the number of "files
found".  In one case,  I think it even wrote past the end of my
findbuffer.  The solution was to search for files the old-fashioned way,one
at a time.  Try this and see if the problem goes away.

A useful test program is one that recurses your whole remote drive (to
count the total number of files) using FindFirst/next 100 files at a time, 
then the same search 1 file at a time --- the result will be different if
you are seeing this bug.   If you find it,  send the test program to IBM; 
I never bothered to complain to MS about the problem,since they have
abondoned LanServer.
