Description Andrew Esh 2004-02-11 11:30:30 UTC 
The -H or --hosts= option to load the lmhosts file corrupts the passed-in file 
path. If the -H option is used bare, the default value of the setting works.

Comment 2 Andrew Esh 2004-02-11 11:42:47 UTC 
The command line which didn't work, and then worked after the fix was:

   nmbd -s /etc/smb.conf.nmbd -H /usr/local/samba/lib/lmhosts

During debugging, the path name appeared OK at the top of main, but was 
corrupted right after processing arguments. Then it appeared like:

   "wX\032\b/local/samba/lib/lmhosts"

Amazing how long we can let legitimate patches sit in bugzilla.
Sad really.  Checked in for 3.0.21b.
