Thanks. This looks like it could be a useful tool. Will it work with 
Samba version 2.0.7? The machine in question is running RH 7.0. I tried 
using new versions of Linux, but since it is only a 200 MHz machine, and 
I use it to drive the stereo in the living room, I had to go back to RH 
7.0 due to "latency" problems (at least that's what I think it's called 
-- it produces sound with skips and jitters).

I succeeded in recovering the file. It was only one block big, so I was 
able to use the dump command in debugfs to write out a copy of it.
