Well, the page I linked to is part of a site dedicated to hacking the
Buffalo Linkstation. From a quick look at the frontpage, it appears to
be possible to flash the firmware:

"This community-driven site is geared towards Buffalo Technology/Melco's
amazing Network-attached storage (NAS) devices called the Linkstation,
Kurobox and Terastation. Notice that this page is totally unrelated to
the producer. There are currently several models available, so click on
the links on the right to find out which variant you have.
There are several custom firmwares such as Debian, Gentoo, Foonas, and
Openlink that will give you unix shell access to your device."

That should come with a newer version of samba.
Sounds better to me than waiting for someone else to fix that issue.
