Samba compile error and SuSE binary distribution bug

There is a bug in the SuSE binary of Tango (versions 2.2.7a and 2.2.8a)
which prevents some old DOS programs (e.g. Tango PCB, Tango Schem, and
Brief) from creating files on a Samba share. When these programs attempt
to create files on a SuSE Samba share, STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED is returned
if the file does not exist. Other Windows programs and the Windows file
manager are able to create files on these shares. Also the DOS programs
can create files on a local Win2k disk or on an SMB network disk on an
OS/2 server. The bug appears to be in the SuSE binary distribution as I
do not get this error when I build Samba 2.2.7a, 2.2.8a, or 3.0.beta
from the source distribution and run it on a test machine running SuSE
8.2. I do get the error on the test machine when I run the SuSE binaries.
Also, there are bugs in the smbwrapper module which cause its compile to
fail with errors when Samba is built with the attached configuration.
Could someone provide me with the ./configure settings used to build
Samba for SuSE 8.2? This will allow me to maybe isolate the option
causing the problem or at least allow me to build a version which will
work properly on our file server.
Thanks,
