How to Share set of files in a sub-folder?

SOS 4.1 on client and server.

We cannot share anywhere on the tree.

Ran Analyze this afternoon:

Analyze Visual SourceSafe Version 6.0d (Build 9848)
Database analysis in progress @ 7/28/05; 4:06p.
Analysis complete @ 7/28/05;10:03p
No errors or inconsistencies found.

Personally, it seems like it might be more fruitful to move to an alternative solution rather than spend time QAing your product.

It's difficult to determine the problem when we can't reproduce the behavior. It appears to be something specific about your environment or database structure.

In these cases, we ask for an archive of your VSS database, or at least the portion of the tree that is experiencing the problem, so we can debug it here. Contact linda at SourceGear.com so we can work out the details.

We got the same error, with all the symptoms described by previous users.
Client & Server version: 4.1.2

Here some excerpts from log file:

You can see the .z added to the file names: I think SOS Server compresses the files when the Client requests data compression during transfers.
I sniffed the sharing operation with Ethereal finding the TCP connection reset by the Client because the Server sends a window full and fails to recover the transmission...

So I made a try:
uncheck the option "General/Use compression for data transfers"
and ta-dah! it works...

Were is the bug?

I hope this can help so you can help us...
