What exactly are you trying to highlight here? Most code has bugs. This one is someone forgetting to stick to actual behavior described in 1997, it's a mistake, mistakes happen. Which one of "secure", "simple", "battle tested" and "no crazy architecture" do you think this disproves?
By "no crazy architecture" I meant it avoids the modern trend of building monstrous data platforms on top of data meshes, event buses, and layers of cloud abstractions. The kind I sometimes see, hence the smiley :-)

Or do you think CIFS or Ceph have no bugs?
