Huh? Alex filed this bug when the new libsmbclient-based code had just
been merged. And it took 9 days for me to push it upstream from the
point when you updated it.

The code at the time wasn't suitable for bug fixing of any kind, it was
was a gigantic cut'n'paste and not maintainable. That's why I spent time
rewriting it using the libsmbclient API.

See above. Unless you became a bug-fixing Swede, you didn't file this
bug.

Dude, I should be the one sighing. Try to earn the "developer" of Debian
developer. For the other packages I have in Debian and for which I'm
upstream (or one of the upstream like in this case), the developers are
trying to do some investigation before jumping on their high horses and
are polite to me.
You're accusing me of not wanting to look into the bugs, when all I did
was teasing a user that didn't even take the time to see that it was
actually a bug from an underlying library.
