Well, it's not a regression in the Debian package. It's a regression in the upstream versions. This bug belongs to the series of bugs we always have in the stable version (currently 3.5.6 plus a few fixes backported from later 3.5 version, for important bugs). Unless I can be convinced that the bug is at least of "important" severity, chances are low that the fix is included in squeeze's samba. > And anyway, I think it's a good idea to fix this bug in Squeeze, > because even if it's not a security bug, it's quite crippling > expecially for exotic software packages (complex CAD propgrams for > example) that tend to trigger it a lot on shared library files, for > example. I didn't go into the details of the bug. It would help if we could examine the fix: if it is not too invasive, then fixing the bug in squeeze might be an option but, given the bug's severity, I might have hard times convincing the Debian stable release managers that it's worth fixing the bug in squeeze.
