Hi Michael,

Thanks for your report....

I'm quite reluctant in adding extra smb.conf tweaking depending on the
architecture. That would make us derive from the policy we adopted
last years : avoid deriving too much, in our default settings, from
upstream's defaults.

So, well, I'll link this bug report to upstream's. Having it in Debian
BTS documents the issue for other users...and let's hope it is fixed
upstream one day or another..:-)
