Description MG 2013-02-07 18:42:22 UTC 
Hi,

Using accents (multibyte characters) in the "comment" parameter of a share renders the server _completely unreachable_ on Windows 7 and the some of the other shares invisible on OS/X 10.8

[Backups]
	writeable = yes
	valid users = @lefourquet
	path = /home/Backups
	comment = Destiné aux backups système uniquement

Using log level = 6 shows that this error : 

[2013/02/07 18:26:01.292074,  3] lib/charcnv.c:279(convert_string_internal)
  convert_string_internal: Conversion error: Illegal multibyte sequence(? aux backups syst?me)
[2013/02/07 18:26:01.292097,  1] ../librpc/ndr/ndr.c:421(ndr_push_error)
  ndr_push_error(5): Bad character conversion

This behavior is a regression compared to 3.0.14 (shipped with lenny)

Can you try and reproduce this in Samba 3.6.x please ?
