I've run across the same problem in 1.9.18p10 (see postings to
samba-technical and main samba lists). I'm still trying to figure out
exactly what's happening here but it seems that either the client is
passing a bad data string into SamOEMhash or something wierd is happening
inside of SamOEMhash. Of course, it could be something else entirely, I am
far from a Samba guru...
