We are using the current version distributed with RHEL 5.3 which is:

    samba-3.0.33-3.7.el5

I also tested version 3.2.7 running on an RHEL5 system and got the same 
results.  In all of my testing thus far, the cifs client system has been 
running RHEL5.3 but I'm going to try some combinations of ubuntu client 
and server to see it the problem spans distributions.
