Fun with Samba Panics

[Chris Tooley]

Replying to myself usually means I'm not making very good progress. 
This case is no different.  For the time being I've come up with a
workaround that I'm extremely unproud of.  Instead of using Linux for my
workstation (the only Linux workstation on the network) I've booted into
Windows.  Sure enough all the panics are gone, the sessionid.tdb is
fairly stable.  This won't work long term though as I'm so not used to
Windows that I don't know how long I'll survive with the real Lotus
Notes client.  At any rate, this confirms Andrew Bartlett's assumption
that this is probably a problem in samba's client side code.

The sessionid.tdb problems I was having were with 2.2.1a and the new
panics (which are worse by far) are with the 2.2.2 RPM.  I'll try
getting the 2.2 branch from CVS tomorrow and see if that has any effect
at all.

P.S.  abartlett if you get this and haven't had a chance to look into
the problem I was having before yet, please drop me a note, and I'll
spend my lunch hour doing something other than testing CVS for the bug. 
Thanks.
