samba - Sep 2003 - Samba3.0.0rc3 -> charset

Hi there,

today I installed samba 3.0.0 rc 3 on redhat 9.

Now I got following problem:

"Illegal multibyte sequence" -> and all processors have a cpu-state
of 99,9%
while reading files...

It seems to me that the iconv string does not work properly with my charset
for german.

Here're the entries from my smb.conf:

        unix charset = ISO-8859-15
        display charset = ISO-8859-15
        dos charset = 850

What did I miss???

Greetz and thank you for helping

P.S.: I switched back to samba 3.0.0 rc2 and everything works fine again.

rc3 likes to burn my cpu. I get this in the logs:

I changed "unix charset" from the default of UTF8 to ASCII and now
things work very well.

Any ideas what's happening?

I am seeing the same "slowdown" problem, and have found a couple of
other
things.
The problem began for me after doing a CVS update and installing on the evening
of 7 Sep. Reverting to my previous build of 31 Aug eliminates the problem.
smbd is in constant run state, but strace shows no system calls.
A new smbd starts up every few minutes (as if XP is trying to reconnect) and
exhibits the same problems. The previous smbd processes continue to run.
I'm running XP Pro with latest updates. Samba is running on RH 7.2 and
kernel
2.4.22.

Here is the relevant section of my log:
