Quoting from http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/leopard/more.html in 
respect to the next version of Mac OS X, 10.5:

"Mac OS X Server is now an Open Brand UNIX 03 Registered Product, 
conforming to the SUSv3 and POSIX 1003.1 specifications for the C API, 
Shell Utilities, and Threads. Since Leopard Server can compile and run 
all your existing UNIX 03-compliant code, it can be deployed in 
environments that demand full conformance. At the same time, Mac OS X 
Server provides full compatibility with existing server and application 
software."

So it seems like this Darwin specific fix will be non-necessary in 10.5 
though it should still work.

Did any of the Samba team go to the WWDC and get a copy of Leopard?
