Revert to 3.4.1 and it works.

So I go look at the source in GitHub to see what might have changed, because there doesn't seem to be anything relevant in the changelog.

Since 3.4.1, 36 commits by "tridge and claude"

Oh for fuck's sakes.

I've used them as a crutch, but never as a replacement, so I can at least understand what the output is before I push it to someone to review. It's more of a finding the spoons and the hours of typing away to finish something I want done so I can use it. I wish the same could be said of all these people inflicting unvetted changes on untold thousands or even millions of users.

LOL, that's damn funny to be honest. Also I thought he only worked on core Samba code. Maybe he should only work on core Samba code.

All these OSS maintainers just burning decades of trust over a perceived 10-ish % “efficiency gain” with snowballing amounts of evidence to the contrary, and a looming bubble implosion on the horizon.
