[Samba] Bizarre problem - happens only under XP and not 2000

[Kier Darby]

Just an update on this - I removed Samba 2.2.7 from the RH8 system and
reinstalled it using the Samba 2.2.1a-4 version from my Redhat 7.2 CDs,
and the problem has miraculously disappeared...

So what got broken between 2.2.1a-4 and 2.2.7-2?
