Thanks John, I'd already tried & failed this way :(

It turns out this appears to be related to newest Samba package as
provided by Fedora Core 4 (3.0.23a-1.fc4.1) as using 3.0.25b compiled
from the official Samba sources failover works fine.

Unfortunately I'd already made a slightly embarrassing regression from
3.0.25b to the Fedora package on Monday due to resource utilisation
issues I haven't yet had time to diagnose. All the more reason to get
back on the case!
