We have small panic here as we've just put samba 3.0.8 up to fix the DoS
attack but all printing from Windows 98 has now broken. Printing from
Windows XP is still working fine.
We're running on Fedora 2 using LPRng. Everything was working fine under
3.0.7 and no changes to the OS or the config files was made. Samba was
upgraded to 3.0.8 using the configure line from the 3.0.7 build.
The log.smbd file contains:

A quick check reveals that printing.c has undergone a fairly major change
to the API with many functions changing from using a sharename to being sent
a service number which then has to be converted into a name for
get_print_db_byname. The assert that fails is a check to make sure that the
printer name is not NULL.
Obviously we're dead in the water here so any help would be appreciated.
