samba - Aug 2004 - finger winbind & gecos

Has anybody run into the wierdness of the gecos info coming from winbind?   
 
Here's an example: 
 
[root@server]# getent passwd dflores 
dFlores:x:21509:13201:Flores, Dick:/home/DOMAIN/dFlores:/bin/bash 
[root@server]# finger dflores 
Login: dFlores                          Name: Flores 
Directory: /home/DOMAIN/dFlores Shell: /bin/bash 
Office:  Dick 
Never logged in. 
No mail. 
No Plan. 
 
I know (IIRC) that the gecos field is delimited by ,'s.  I don't really
want to change the info on the windows side but I would like for finger to not
parse based on the ,'s.
 
Ugh....Any ideas?

Looks like a bug in the finger command.  Or maybe just needs
a configuration tweak.  It's not winbindd from what I see.
