A little fix to this note:

Since now Ukrainian, Russian, Belarussian, and Bulgarian can use CP1251 as
unix character set in Samba and actual mapping is controlled by 'character
set' option, following changes were added to 2.2.4 (hence, to 2.2.5
as well):

Unix		Windows		client codepage		character set
---------------------------------------------------------------------
uk_UA.CP1251	CP1125		1125			1251U
other CP1251	CP866		866			1251

These 'other CP1251-based' are ru_RU.CP1251, be_BY.CP1251, bg_BG.CP1251.
This '1251U' fake encoding is in place because 1251 as 'character set' 
is too ambiguous to correctly identify client codepage.

There is no such problem in HEAD due completely different algorithm of
client/server code page mapping.
