[Bug 284572] Re: smbclient crashed with SIGSEGV in strlen()

Here's the quick workaround. I'm neither samba nor Ubuntu developer -
it's just a fix for this particular crash. I haven't go faintest idea
about the actual source of the problem.

$ diff -u samba-3.2.3/source/libsmb/clilist.c samba-3.2.3/source/libsmb/clilist.c.orig

I was using https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto to build the binary.
The deb file generated by me (one of 15 deb files pbuild has creaded) is
attached.  it. It works for me.
