12, not 8 char limit in testparm?

[Christopher R. Hertel]

Well, I've made a change...  It currently reads:

WARNING: You have some share names that are longer than 12 characters.
These may not be accessible to some older clients.
(Eg. Windows9x, WindowsMe, and smbclient prior to Samba 3.0.

I'm happy to change it to something better if there is agreement.
