Good news, Jerry; thanks for the reply.

This puts a large and noticeable kink in our architecture. What can we do to
help get it resolved? Bug 395 references another link describing a similar
problem on Solaris 9 with patch 112960-03. However, the problem exists for
us on Solaris 8 without said patch series. We've successfully executed
Samba using the same configuration files on a Debian and Red Hat 9
system built from scratch using the same Samba source. We were going to
build on Solaris 9 in an attempt narrow the problem when I received your
reply.

Again, what can we do to support Samba and help hunt this down?
