Not that I remember.

Definitely the Samba code. This will be Samba 3.0 in the 
future, and people doing SMB will want to install Samba 99% of 
the time.
Moreover, I cannot maintain the native code (no longer on a LAN, don't use SMB
myself, do not have any Windows to test against, getting bored, etc.)
People just doing "configure, make, make install" will have 
limited smb support while Samba-3.0 isn't out, which is better 
than nothing.
And if anyone wants to spend time checking this, well, that's 
fine by me :-)

That's strange. It's been about 9 months since I last had this 
bug!
