Latest Updates Break Samba on Dapper / Edgy

I have an Edgy laptop mounting two Samba shares from a Dapper server.
When I applied the updates this morning, the shares would mount, but
every time I tried to access them, Samba timed out and segfaulted.

After much head scratching, here was my fix for those having the same
problem.  Just back out the latest fix and forbid its install until the
next version comes along.

On Edgy:
# aptitude remove samba=3.0.22-1ubuntu4.3
# aptitude install samba=3.0.22-1ubuntu4.2
# aptitude forbid-version samba=3.0.22-1ubuntu4.3

On Dapper:
# aptitude remove samba=3.0.22-1ubuntu3.4
# aptitude install samba=3.0.22-1ubuntu3.3
# aptitude forbid-version samba=3.0.22-1ubuntu3.4

Hopefully, the next update will fix this problem.
