[Samba] string overflow in safe_strcpy

[Corey Spalding]

I recently upgraded both of my samba servers (mirrors of each other) to 
3.0.4, my log files now fill with the following messages (hundred lines 
per day):

Jun 24 13:55:33 Clyde smbd[8597]: [2004/06/24 13:55:33, 0] 
lib/util_str.c:safe_strcpy_fn(602)
Jun 24 13:55:33 Clyde smbd[8597]:   ERROR: string overflow by 1 (9 - 8) 
in safe_strcpy [LIBRA~V$.DOC]
Jun 24 14:20:34 Clyde smbd[8597]: [2004/06/24 14:20:34, 0] 
lib/util_str.c:safe_strcpy_fn(602)
Jun 24 14:20:34 Clyde smbd[8597]:   ERROR: string overflow by 1 (11 - 
10) in safe_strcpy [Config.pol.bak]

The messages appear when I'm browsing any share setup on either server.

Heres the smb.conf from the backup server.

 Any ideas how to get rid of this error? Its more of a nuisance that 
anything else at the moment.
