error while database is on windows file server

Hi

We use Metakit to store miscellaneous information for our programe. It =
works on windows,=20
macosx and linux.
It happens that when the database is created on the windows network, we =
have some problem=20
with the windows application (we use metakit-2.4.9.6).

Below you will find a program that creates a file, adds rows, and =
retrieves information.

The Find function doesn't return anything and a manuel search also gives =
no result. In our=20
main program, the Find() function remains in an infinite loop.
It works fine with other plateform combinations : from windows client to =
simple windows=20
sharing, from macosx client to windows file server and from macosx =
client to macosx apple share=20
file server.

Thanks for any suggestion about this.

PS: our windows file server is a macosx with Samba. we compile with =
visual studio 2005
