[Bug 1257186] Re: memory leakage messages

[Eric MORAND]

This importance of this bug should probably be reexamined, because it
has impact on other softwares, like Netatalk. It prevents AFP shares
from being accessible and make Netatalk totally useless.

Here is a syslog trace where Netatalk crash because of this bug :

Disabling SMB password synchronization (for example with pam-auth-
update) not onyl remove the error message of this bug but also restore
Netatalk behavior.

  development branch):

  no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4831, leaking
  memory

  From this upstream bug report, I am lead to believe the issue is in
  libpam-smbpass, but I don't really know for sure.

  I am filing this bug report mainly so that I can refer to it on the
  testing tracker as an issue, while still setting the test case to
  pass. Note that other than the error message itself, I am not aware of
  any bad side effect.
