samba - Apr 2003 - Fw: %a reports a Windows XP client as having a "Win2K" architecture.

Hi,

I've asked for traces before and no one provided them.  I cannot 
reproduce the bug locally.  If you will send me an ethereal of the 
connection setup and a level 10 debug log from the client connection,
I'll fix it.
