Ndr_unpack() problem

[Zahari Zahariev]

Hello Samba4,

It seems to be the problem that in a unittest file ldap.py alike I want 
to ndr_pack() a object of type security.descriptor initializing it with 
security.descriptor.from_sddl(). After that the already packed object is 
about to be unpacked with ndr_unpack() passing as first argument the 
same object type security.descriptor. Unfortunately it exits during 
ndr_unpack() with:

***
error: Adding user basic tests [
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "./lib/ldb/tests/python/acl.py", line 101, in test_acl_useradd
   xUnpacked = ndr_unpack( security.descriptor, xPacked )
 File "bin/python/samba/ndr.py", line 27, in ndr_unpack
   object.__ndr_unpack__(data)
RuntimeError: (-1073741777, 'NT_STATUS_PORT_MESSAGE_TOO_LONG')
***

Why can't the packed date be unpacked ?

       res = ldb.search(base="", expression="", scope=SCOPE_BASE,
                        attrs=["defaultNamingContext"])
       self.assertEquals(len(res), 1)
       return res[0]["defaultNamingContext"][0]

   def setUp(self):
