I would rather quash the issue altogether.

The C language specification does not have an "&=" for boolean arguments
 (s.b.. "&&=").  Without such an extension, I would like to see my
proposed patch stand.

I am not trying to hijack/control Samba development - I am just trying
to address the 1050+ issues reported by the IBM checker.  Addressing the
issues presented in my proposed patch will bring the number of IBM
checker issues to par with the v3-2-test branch.

I'm not pointing fingers, but it seems to me that a lot of Samba 4
development happens without watching what the buildfarm system actually
does - until it's too late.  I'm just trying to
help keep the focus on the right side of the development effort.
