I will, but is it really a bug?
Or was it designed to hurt Samba?

A little bit off topic, but I had another problem with XP/x64
in connection with Oracle. For quite some time Oracle was
effectively disabled under XP/x64 due to the fact that the
32-bit paths to executables and libraries contained brackets
in the string. Even today there is no direct way to configure
an Oracle server as a Data Source. Might be an innocent
lack of due dilligence but when it hurts the competition so
bad, one wonders.
