[Samba] roaming profile not uploaded correctly when logging outfor the first time

[Dennis McLeod]

I *THINK* it has to do with the logoff process. I'm on XP.
I have been experiencing on this today, in fact. 
Most of my profile copied to the server, but it would ultimately pop up an
error.
When you watch XP log off, the first thing it displays is "closing network
connections", then "saving settings"...
If the Saving Settings part is saving my profile, and XP has just
disconnected my network connections, how can it then succeed?
I suspect in my case it starts the save before the connections are closed,
but doesn't finish in time. Hence the message.
(This may explain why the log level settings affect it, though...)
Anyway, I hope this helps somehow.
I was actually trying to turn OFF roaming profiles, but my test machine kept
saving them anyway.
Found the GPEDIT.MSC setting to fix it, so I never really explored the
actual cause of the profile error.

Another thing that makes debugging so hard is that the issue happens when I
have "log level" lower than 9, but not anymore when I increase it to 10.

Samba 3.0.24 is running on a rather slow machine: 266 MHz ARM with 64 MB RAM
(Debian Etch). Setting "log level" to 10 makes the logout process noticeably
slower (does making Samba slower works around the problem?), and I doubt
it's a proper solution to Samba problems.
