I would be interested in evidence of this. Unfortunately all my servers run more up-to-date versions of samba, I don't have an 8.2 box I can test on currently :-(. But, the patch applied by Vince for 2.2.3a-10.1mdk was a one-liner on the 2.2.3a-10mdk package fixing a buffer overflow somewhere else in the code, so I would be very wary of blaming this on the update.

You don't need to read the whole source, install the samba source rpm from updates, and take a look at the additional patch. FYI, check http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake for samba packages for various releases on various Mandrake dists.
