samba - Dec 2002 - Precisions to bug 26128

Dear all,

First thanks for the good job! Samba allowed me to switch from M$ slavery to
Freedom of Free Softwares I like so much :-))

Here is a precision on the bug number 26128 I've posted by 9th of December
2002.
The EXCEL 97 file has become corrupted _by Samba_..

I don't understand how this could happen but it seems samba logger just
logged
in the Excel file directly. Here is what I can see in the Excel file, editing it
with vim, in the middle of Microsoft crappy file: (Sorry, I still have to
anonymyse the file since it contains confidential business data):

Please give *exact* details on your Samba version, and your OS and system
(if it's linux I'd like to see glic version as well). I'm trying to
track
this down and it's been frustratingly non-reproducible.
