I received this too, then I download the latest HEAD cvs, compiled, and it
worked fine.

Oh, btw, I did stumble a little, because after compiling, d/l, compiling,
d/ling again, etc.. I finally discovered.. I forgot to delete my old files.
I have the RPM version of samba which installed executables in /usr/sbin and
I had my custom configured samba, that places the files /usr/bin, /usr/man,
/usr/lib, etc.... Only I did change smbpasswd and smb.conf to be located in
/etc, instead of /usr/etc... so now that I located all my old samba stuff...
(find / -name smb) and (find / -name nmb) I deleted the files, and
re-installed my cvs builds, and all worked fine.
