Can you provide a link? Googling for that does not return any results 
other than this mailing list post.

I had been working from

Having no idea what error you had, I can't confirm. I can actually join 
the domain find as a member server, but when I try as a DC or RODC I get 
this error.

Here's the output of the domain join with '-d 9':

I tried applying, but my code looks nothing like what you have in the 
patch. I'm using mainline, not the sernet packages.

Sure.

While waiting for a reply, I also tried the samba4 (4.0.8) package on 
FreeBSD and got the exact same error. So I'm thinking it's something in 
AD that samba4 just can't handle yet.
