Package: samba-common
Version: 2.2.3a-14.1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

The share \\SERVER\SHARE is setup for guest access without passwd.
smbclient '\\SERVER\SHARE' -U% -N connects successfully; upon exit of
smbclient the smbd starts writing the following two lines to its log
until the filesystem runs out of space.

[2005/02/11 20:21:30, 0] lib/util_str.c:string_sub(1221)
  ERROR: string overflow by 2 in string_sub(%a, 172)

I can reproduce the error with both smbd/smbclient from 2.2.3a-14.1 as
well as the ones from the 2.2.11-0.1 package provided by the Samba team.
I can even reproduce this error on smbd 2.2.12 running on non-Debian
systems (SINIX-Z 5.42C on i386 and ReliantUnix 5.45C on MIPS R10000).
The error does NOT show when using the smbclient 2.2.12 from said
SINIX and ReliantUnix against the Debian or another machine.
