FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
J2SE 1.4.2_04, 1.4.2_01, or 1.5Beta1

FULL OS VERSION :
RedHat 9 2.4.20
RedHat 7.3 2.4.18

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
After running with -server flag for about a minute the following code emits a value that has a low-byte of 0x00 regardless of the input:

     offset & 0xFFFFFFFFL

The specific context is found in the jCIFS SMB/CIFS client library available at http://jcifs.samba.org/ version 0.8.2 or below jcifs/smb/SmbComWriteAndX.java line ~87.

    writeInt4( offset & 0xFFFFFFFFL, dst, dstIndex );

where offset is a long and writeInt4 is:

    static void writeInt4( long val, byte[] dst, int dstIndex ) {
        dst[dstIndex++] = (byte)((int)(val >>> 0) & 0xFF);
        dst[dstIndex++] = (byte)((int)(val >>> 8) & 0xFF);
        dst[dstIndex++] = (byte)((int)(val >>> 16) & 0xFF);
        dst[dstIndex++] = (byte)((int)(val >>> 24) & 0xFF);
    }

Running without -server or removing the unnecessary mask solves the problem.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Download:

http://jcifs.samba.org/src/jcifs-0.8.21x.jar
http://home.comcast.net/~miallen1/jcifs/testjcifs.jar

And run like:

java -server -cp testjcifs.jar:jcifs-0.8.2x1.jar testjcifs.FullTest smb://server/share/ dom\;user:pass 500

where server is a SMB/CIFS server. After approxamately 45 seconds the output will transition as follows:

clobbered: 0x5800
clobbered: 0x5800
clobbered: 0x5800
clobbered: 0x5800

This means that the offset field encoded into the SMB_COM_WRITE_ANDX request with an FID of 0x5800 had the low byte "clobbered" to 0x00.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The expression longValue & 0xFFFFFFFFL should not emit a value with a low byte of 0x00 if the input longValue does not have a 0x00 low byte.
ACTUAL -
The expression longValue & 0xFFFFFFFFL emits a value with the low 8 byte set to 0 regardless of whether or not the longValue has a non-0x00 low byte.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Do not use the HotSpot -server option or do not mask a long value with 0xFFFFFFFFL in this way.
