Nope. My configuration today should be identical to what it was a
week ago, aside from aptitude updates. I don't see anything recent
that looks like it'd have affected samba, either (in
/var/cache/apt/archives).
Is it possible that there's bad state from some transient error that
needs to be cleared out? I have no idea what samba caches, and where.
