I think the correct phrasing is that imacat's proposed fix would create
a serious security issue on machines compiled with the socket wrapper
code, and mistakenly deployed in production.  That is why I said it was
an incorrect fix.  

The correct fix (for the build issue) is not to have smbmnt built with
those defines in place, so we link correctly.
