That is right: Starting with 3.2.0pre2, we build and use some
subsystems internally as shared libs (currently libtalloc, libtdb,
libwbclient, libnetapi). If you want, you can turn this off by
specifying "--disable-shared-libs" as a parameter to configure.

Oh, that is a bug: @LIBTDB_SHARED@ should be changed to @LIBTDB_LIBS@
in the $(LIBNETAPI_SHARED_TARGET) target in Makefile.in. 
I just fixed that in 3398403c22c0f39b - will be in the next preview.

Could you provide level 10 logs and network sniffs (truss) of
this problem? Maybe the samba-technical mailing list or bugzilla
would be a more appropriate place for this.

Thanks again for your feedback - much appreciated!

Cheers - Michael
