[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#453050: samba: security updated causes directory listings to be truncated

[Stefan Schmieta]

Package: samba
Version: 3.0.24-6etch7
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Upgrading to 3.0.24-6etch7 causes large directory listings to be 
truncated using both smbclient and Windows explorer. We have several 
directories that contain over 20,000 files each which worked flawlessly 
before. With -etch7 only about 200 files are shown. Downgrading to 
-etch4 resolved the problem.

Best,
  Stefan
