Speaking for my experience: it happens only with Samba 2.2.2.
When I noticed it, I downgraded to samba 2.2.0 again, and the problem
went away. Recently Samba 2.2.3a is out, and it works fine there too.
I mentioned this problem on the samba list about half a year ago,
but never got any meaningful replies, so I'm not sure if it really is
the problem. Anyway since I upgraded to 2.2.3a last week, the problem
did not reappear again. YMMV.
