[Samba] get errors when doing a tar backup of a windows server with linux smbclient

[Rick Warner]

I resolved the problem by updating to 3.0.23d.  To do this using gentoo, I 
just made a portage overlay and copied the 3.0.23a ebuild to 3.0.23d and ran 
a digest on it.  After emerging it, my errors are gone.
