[Samba] Problem with MS Visual SourceSafe and samba V3.0.14anb1

[Scott R. Burns]

I have upgraded my samba on a NetBSD/i386 V2.0.2. I was previously at
V3.0.10nb2 and I am now at: V3.0.14anb1. My developers are starting to
report problems when checking source code in and out of VisualSource Safe.
Most users are W2K SP4 or WXP SP1a or SP2. Problem has been reported by both
XP and W2K users.

The problems reported in the samba log file are thousands of:

[2005/10/11 16:07:05, 0] lib/util.c:Realloc(971)
  Memory allocation error: failed to expand to 4896 bytes
[2005/10/11 16:07:05, 0] lib/util.c:Realloc(971)
  Memory allocation error: failed to expand to 4896 bytes
[2005/10/11 16:07:05, 0] lib/util.c:Realloc(971)
  Memory allocation error: failed to expand to 4896 bytes


The 4896 value is quite common, but it does vary to other values in the 4K
range.

I have observed a couple of other reports about Realloc() failing on the net
but nothing specific. Does anyone know if a specific release fixes this
before I attempt to revert backwards ?

Thanks

Scott...
