samba - Jan 2006 - "%S" doesn't parse to share name.

Hi,
 
Our smb.conf specifies share level logging with:
    log file = /var/log/samba/%S.log

This results in a log file named "%S.log".  I would expect something
like
sharename.log. Can anyone explain this?  I have not been able to Google any
answers.

Samba 3.0.10-1.4e.2 as PDC on RedHat ELS4 with Windows XP2 clients

%m.log gives "machinename.log" as expected.
%m.%S.log gives "machinename.%S.log".
%s.log gives "%s.log"

Output from testparm is:

[global]
	workgroup = ...
	netbios aliases = ...
	server string = ...
	passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
	passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password*
%n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
	unix password sync = Yes
	log level = 2
	log file = /var/log/samba/%S.log
	max log size = 50
	time server = Yes
	socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
	add machine script = /usr/sbin/luseradd -c Samba_Trust_Account -d
/dev/null -g machines -M -n -s /bin/false %u
	logon script = login.cmd
	logon drive = X:
	domain logons = Yes
	os level = 255
	preferred master = Yes
	domain master = Yes
	dns proxy = No
	wins support = Yes
	idmap uid = 16777216-33554431
	idmap gid = 16777216-33554431
	hosts allow = ...
	cups options = raw
	include = /etc/samba/smb-local.conf

[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/spool/samba
      ...
	...

The %S is only valid within a given service (share definition).
Log files are reopened at various times but mostly outside the
context of a specific share so the %S variable does not make sense
in this context.
