Summary:                    BAT shows incomplete lists (media, files, etc.)
Description: 
Under 64-bit Windows, BAT is disconnected from the director in the middle of a
list transfer, which causes virtually all such lists to be incomplete.

That includes volumes and files.  

For example, if I apply a filter to a specific pool with 60 file volumes, it
shows 1 through 49 only.  If I change the filter to another pool, then back, it
may show 1 through 16 only.  Each time the list is cut short, the status bar
says "Director disconnected.", while a normal list ends with "At main prompt
waiting for input..."

When restoring files, this has the effect of leaving out huge chunks of the
backup.  When I attempted to manually type "cd x:/path" for a path which was
missing from the list (but definitely in the backup), BAT actually crashed.


Steps to Reproduce: 
Install bacula-win64-5.0.3.exe, run BAT, try to get a list of anything from a
director.


Additional Information: 
I've noticed no such problems on a 32-bit Vista client, running the same
version.

No problems also with version 5.0.2 installed from the Gentoo ebuild.

See attached screenshot showing Windows 64-bit BAT versus Linux 64-bit BAT.  The
former is on the left, with a truncated list.  The latter is on the right, with
a complete list (run with Cygwin/X).

This looks to me like some sort of a networking problem with Vista or it may be
some problem with the Qt libraries on Windows.  bat is a 32 bit program and
maybe Vista doesn't like that.

The next version of Bacula will have many improvements to Bat and is linked
against a much newer version of Qt.  Perhaps that will resolve the problem. I
will run some tests on Win2008 with the most current version.  If I can
reproduce the problem, we should be able to correct it, but unfortunately the
priority is not very high.
