[Samba] Very strange truncation error

[acc at anthonychavez.org]

Fellow Samba-lovers:

I'm encountering a very peculiar error.  I first encountered it when
doing an upgrade to Samba 2.2.8a (from a fairly recent version---I don't
recally exactly which, but it couldn't have been older than 2.2.7) on
FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE.

The error I'm encountering is twofold.  In the first example, I try to
connect to the "shared" service, which results in the following:

[2003/08/26 18:21:17, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(252)
  aphrodite (192.168.1.4) couldn't find service share

Second, when trying to connect to service acc I get:

[2003/08/18 13:36:22, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(252)
  aphrodite (192.168.1.4) couldn't find service accproject.ede
[2003/08/18 13:36:22, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(252)
  aphrodite (192.168.1.4) couldn't find service accmakefile.am

The former example doesn't seem to phase Win2k SP4 at all, but certain
apps (such as Emacs 21.3.1) freeze up when the latter is encountered.
However, when I try to access the acc service again, it works fine
(i.e., it alternates from functional to non-functional, ad nauseum).

I've tried rebuilding a couple of times, which doesn't fix the problem
at all.  The make variables (which should be obvious to any FreeBSD user
experienced with portupgrade and fairly straightforward to everyone
else) I pass to the build process are:

-DWITH_AUDIT -DWITH_RECYCLE -DWITH_SSL -DWITH_UTMP -DWITH_MSDFS
-DWITHOUT_CUPS -DWITH_WINBIND_AUTH_CHALLENGE

I would very much appreciate any insight that you could lend.  This is
only a slight nuisance, but one that is starting become slightly more
irritating as time goes on.  I've included my (very minimal) smb.conf
below.  Thanks!
