Ok.  I forgot something important.  I have been running 4.0.1 with a 
patch from the bug report:

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9485

I'll apply this on top of my 4.0.5 code and see what happens. Should fix 
it is my guess.

To the original poster, check out the bug report and you should patch 
your code then rebuild and install new binaries.

To samba maintainers, please incorporate this critical bug fix!
