Comment 114 for bug 207072

Does anyone think that they can get the working patch to the repos? I too
am not confident in compiling things for the most part; and it seems that
this patch works; so why not just stick it in now, and then work on it from
there? At least this way we will be able to use Samba while the problem is
being worked on, just my $0.02. Thanks.

In our Lord Jesus Christ,

It is for us to become holy here and now, for we cannot be certain whether
we will be here this evening.
