Hi Jim,
Thanks for the patch! I actually automatically build the
tdb.c file from the Samba SVN tree (with a series of patches and
scripts) at:
svn://svnanon.samba.org/samba/branches/SAMBA_4_0/source/lib/tdb
So I'm going to forward this patch (attached) to the Samba developers.
It appears to apply cleanly to .../source/lib/tdb/common/tdb.c. Once
they commit it into their SVN tree, I can just pick it up from there.
Regards,
- Ted

Of course!
Thanks!
In case it helps, here's the updated patch:
Here's a tiny fix to avoid a leak when realloc fails:
