To drag this up again, I was thinking about the number of cases I've found like

more or test further, but for future reference I'd like some clarification.

I'd say a PR is not really appropriate as a response to an issue such as this 
(unless the maintainer offers no response at all), but should I create a patch 
to assist the maintainer? Or is that over doing it?

If I were to create a patch, what is the correct (usable) procedure? And for 
something like this it would be an adjustment to BUILD_DEPENDS, correct?
If you think there is a missing dependency, then doing send-pr with the fix is 
a reasonable procedure.

I was only thinking the maintainer might want to know and fix and test themselves before commit. I know I would as a maintainer.

However, you might first want to look into what was different in your case from 
pointyhat, since the builds of samba-3.x worked fine:

   http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/amd64-9-latest-logs/samba34-3.4.14.log
   http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/amd64-9-latest-logs/samba35-3.5.11.log
   http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/amd64-9-latest-logs/samba36-3.6.3.log

Hmmm. You're right.

I can narrow it down to the SWAT or AIO option (most likely given the obvious network connection there), but it could be ADS, ACL, or FAM; but I doubt that very much. You have me intrigued now, I have to look into it to know :)

So what should the patch look like? Am I correct in my understanding of the BUILD_DEPENDS, or have I chased a goose on that one?
