Not much chance of that, 3.6 is in security fixes only at the moment and 
when 4.2 comes out, it will go EOL. Samba 4.2.rc3 was released on the 
20th Dec 2014, so as you can see, 4.2 is very imminent. Louis's advise 
is the way to go, if the problem is still there you should be able to 
get it fixed, but then again, it may already be fixed in 4.1.9 from 
backports.
