FYI, the complete and correct fix for this ifor 3.6.next s now attached to
bug :

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9124

as a patch. Please test (it fixes the problem here). Thanks for reporting
this, the same code will go into master as soon as I've finished wrestling
with autobuild :-).

Cheers,
