PATCH: warn against old Samba in the FAQ (was BUG: svn st => svn: Can't open '.svn/tmp/mixed.pl.tmp': No such file or directory)

Short story: the problem is probably due to a bug in an old version of
Samba.

Longer story:

First I eliminated Cygwin as a possible culprit: the problem happened
equally with the native Win32 subversion binaries.

Then I tried the repro scripts on Samba 3.0.6, and the problem did not
recur.

But more importantly (to me, anyway), I was able to reproduce the
nastier problem to which I vaguely alluded (by simply tarring up the
original messed-up working copy, and experimenting with it), and _it_
also doesn't happen with the newer Samba.

So I think all that remains to be done is to patch the FAQ thusly:

    +after being accessed via SMB; the server in question was running a
    +rather old version of Samba (2.2.7a, to be precise). The problem
