Re: Regression with newer SAMBA versions

further analysis shows that the breakage has been introduced by a change 
between samba-3.0.24-r3 and samba-3.0.25c-r2.
Note that the revisions (-rX) are from the gentoo packages and thus 
distrospecific. AFAICT those revisions only patch vulnerabilities and 
*seem* to not affect smbclient.
