[PATCH] smbfs: Read buffer overflow

[Roel Kluin]

This function uses signed integers for the unix_date and local variables - if a
negative number is supplied and the leap-year condition is not met, month
will be 0, leading to a read of day_n[-1]

This is the easiest way to prevent the buffer overflow, but it produces a date.
Maybe a magic date would be better? What should we choose?
