   * New upstream release. This fixes the following bugs:
     - Winbind leaks gids with idmap ldap backend (upstrem #7777)
       Closes: #613624
+    - printing from Windows 7 fails with 0x000003e6
+      Closes: #617429
 


I think that these two fixes, introduced in 3.5.8, are worth being
applied in squeeze too.

The latter is particularly needed as my own experience with a large
samba-based print spooler shows that it's nearly impossible to have a
mix of 32-bit WinXP and 64-bit Win7 clients....particularly if printer
admins happen to use both environments: in some situations, just
opening the Printer Properties tab on some printers triggers subtle
changes to ntprinters.tdb and makes the printer unusable for 64-bit
clients.

This bug lead us (Onera) to setup a separate samba spooler for 64-bit
clients as of now..:-)
