somehow, the patch didn't make it to the list.  Can you make it with git
format-patch (if possible) and attach it to a bug, or mail it to me.  I
would be delighted to include it in the tree, or otherwise fix this
bug. 

(Sorry for the slow response, I normally expect Samba4 questions on
samba-technical during this alpha phase). 

Thanks!
