[Samba] Samba+ADS+groups>32 = broken Samba

I've got a strange problem with certain Active Directory user accounts that
are members of more than 32 groups. It seems that Samba (or winbind?)
completely ignores extended groups if it crosses over 32 groups.
This seems to be a Samba specific issue;
* When the AD user is logs in via ssh, it can perform writes to the
resource; the same user browsing via Samba will get an "Access Denied"
error.
* Additionally, same user, same groups, same resource, writes will occur if
it uses vsftpd, writes won't if its through Samba.
* If the primary group is changed to the group of the resource, the user can
write via Samba; however if the primary group is something else yet the user
is a member of the resource group in extended groups, "Access Denied" again.
Everything works perfectly. Wibind is returning all the proper users and
groups of AD.
This is debian-sarge. Samba 3.0.14a-3sarge4. Kernel 2.6.20. Windows
Server 2000 SP4 - Active Directory.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
