The "possible solution" appears to be:

I'm afraid I'm not willing to make such a change without upstream's sign-off
(since if the change is wrong in any way it's a potential buffer overflow),
and I definitely don't have any servers of this vintage to test against
(samba 2.2 is woody era, i.e. oldstable-1).  I would suggest talking to
upstream about this bug.
