Samba 3.0.0rc1 does not have this bug, also Samba 2.2.3 on Debian works well.
This is not a severe, but a bug.

Hmmm...  Share names are limited to 12 bytes in RAP, though the RAP data
descriptor string lists 13 bytes to account for a nul terminator.  Could
there be some confusion between the share name and comment fields?

Just a wild guess...

sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
