I've tested the small patch on one DMB but it did NOT work.

I stopped 'smbd' and 'nmbd', removed the browse.dat file, installed the 
new binaries, and started the whole thing.
as soon as the browse.dat file is recreated, it contains domain names with 
trailing spaces until MAX_NETBIOSNAME_LEN is reached.

I had to stop the processes to not pollute all browse lists again.
