severity 289690 serious thanks This bug should really be fixed for sarge... releasing with broken Samba support isn't an option. I also encountered the bug on my side (with version 2.6.8-13 of the kernel). You must be able to find out the relevant change in the kernel bitkeeper history, isn't it ? As a starting point, you may contact the guy who posted that mail : http://lwn.net/Articles/112514/?format=printable Regards, Raphaël.
