Actually, I did, but not in a particularly 'real world' situation. 
However, I don't think we should ever allow it to happen.

Well, when we are not sent a netbios name (ie 445) Samba 2.2 uses it's
global_myname for the %L value.  I think this is reasonable - and that
ever converting %L to _SMBSERVER just doesn't make sense.

Also, the machine that connected to us is not always the client -
trusting domains will contact us via their PDC for this request.
