[Samba] Samba 3.0rc3 - German Umlauts on SuSE 8.2

[Peter Eckhardt]

Hi,

I am still fighting with my strange samba killing server. Yesterday
I installed samba3 for testing and noticed it also crashes but not
as hard as samba-2
Unfortunately samba-3 is not yet usable due to problems with german
umlauts.
The following combination of charsets seems to be the only one which
displays filenames correctly
          unix charset = iso8859-1
          unicode = yes
          display charset = iso8859-1
          ; dos charset = CP850
unfortunately opening files using the above combination of charsets
crashes explorer and gives an oops in samba

Samba is 3.0rc3 on SuSe 8.2, Client OS is Windows 2000 (German)

Is it a bug or a feature ?
