[Samba] string overflow by 8 in string_sub(%L, 3)

[Massimiliano Campagnoli]

I'am running a SAMBA ver 3.0.20b-3.11 on a Novell Linux Enterprise Server 9.
I am accessing samba from WinXP and OS/2 clients.

After some hours of normal operation I get the following repeating error 
in /var/log/samba/log.smdb which floods the log file and full the hard 
disk, bringing the entire system down.

Any help is really appreciated since I've no solution but restarting the 
system each time it happens and delete gigabytes of 
var/log/samba/log.smdb .
