[Samba] Re: Run away samba, and free() errors

[Steve A]

Hi Terry,

Check this out... (from your message)

     In-Reply-To: <e11gbi$d59$1 at sea.gmane.org>

And from my message (completely different topic)...

     Message-ID: <e11gbi$d59$1 at sea.gmane.org>

You should always create a new post, not reply to an existing one by 
changing the subject, otherwise your message will get threaded incorrectly, 
and most likely not answered.

And I'm sorry - I don't know the answer to your question.

Steve :)
