Fulvio & Robert,

	Thanks for that and sorry for the delay in responding.
It was a known bug in 1.9.18p10 that was fixed in the Samba2.0
code stream that all development is going on within.

We're frantically trying to get Samba2.0 "born" and shipped
and so the email response from the developers is a bit erratic
at the moment, sorry.

Cheers,

	Jeremy Allison,
	Samba Team.
