[Samba] Upgrade to Alfa13

[Michael Wood]

Hi Konstantin

It is best to ask questions like this on the samba-technical list,
because I am not an expert.

I think that is probably caused by a bug.  Someone on samba-technical
should be able to advise you.  e.g. they might ask you to run this
under valgrind or something to get more information about what the
problem is.

Did you get this error with Samba 4.0.0 Alpha 13?  Or with a version from GIT?

I have copied my reply to samba-technical.
