[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#479512: samba: locks up when cups server unresponsive

Package: samba
Version: 1:3.0.28a-2
Severity: important
The samba server always tries to connect to a cups server, even when
there are no printing shares, and "load printers" is set to no.
When this server does not respond (as it drops the packets) samba blocks
indefinitely trying to connect to the server failing to open its
listening sockets at all.
This is serious usability, and possibly security bug. The server fails
when another service that is not even required for proper operation
fails.
Thanks
Michal
