string overflows

[reinout.wijnveen at philips.com]

Hi everyone,

After an upgrade to HP-UX 11 (Samba was recompiled) we see a lot (hundreds or even thousands) of messages like the ones below in our samba logging. No users have complained (yet) about disfunctioning sessions however, neither do we notice any strange 
behaviour.

Can someone please give some backgrounds about what might be going on here? Has it something to do with too long filenames?
Is it serious? What is the next thing to check?

This is Samba 2.07 running on HP-UX 11, clients are merely NT terminal server.
