I'm afraid this looks like a problem Andrew discovered with the Debian
Samba 2.2.2 only.

It appears that the Debian Samba maintainer added a completely 
untested (by the Samba Team) patch to their 2.2.2 release, and
LEFT THE SAME VERSION NUMBER !!!!!

I'm not too happy about this (I know Andrew isn't) and don't
really want to waste my time debugging problems introduced by
vendors.

We ship a "known" version for a reason, if Vendors want to change
it please at least modify the version string so we know it isn't
the code we tested.......
