I'm looking through the code differences in Samba between 3.0.23c and
3.0.23d. There appears to be no changes to the code that would change
this behaviour, but maybe I am just looking in the wrong place. I've
been concentrating on the 'smbd' differences so far. If I am looking in
the wrong place, do please tell me.
