Possible memory leakage in Samba code

Hello,

I was reviewing the code of del_share_entry function (.../locking/locking.c) that is suppose
to return the entry deleted when supplied with a ppse pointer. If there are a number of entries
that satisfy the share_mode_identical criteria (more than one), memdup will be called more then 
once, thus losing the pointer stored previously in the *ppse.
What is the chance that such a scenario could occur?

Thanks,
Menny
