[Samba] change in winbindd behavior

I have a Samba 3.0.15pre1 box running winbind to a Windows 2003 AD
Domain, see the smb.conf file below.

If I run 'wbinfo -u' it returns all the expected user and computer
accounts, in lower case.

I just compiled and installed 3.0.20 and now 'wbinfo -u' is returning
mixed-case results.

I am guessing that the mixed-case results are exactly what the AD
servers are returning to Samba, but why did 3.0.15pre1 convert all
accounts to lower-case and is this functionality something which can be
turned on/off via a smb.conf option or during compile time?
