I recently upgraded both of my samba servers (mirrors of each other) to
3.0.4, my log files now fill with the following messages (hundred lines
per day):

The messages appear when I'm browsing any share setup on either server.
Heres the smb.conf from the backup server.

Any ideas how to get rid of this error? Its more of a nuisance that
anything else at the moment.

Not sure if this will be of any help to anyone else, but I have seem to fixed my own problem. It turns out that the line "mangling method = hash" was causing my log files to fill with the string overflow error (on a side note, it also slowed the smb shares to a crawl on one of the servers). Anyways removing the line seems to have fixed the problem. Hope this helps someone else.
