Looks like that needs an ever newer kernel.

I am having this problem with a DNS-323 NAS, so I don't easily have the option of upgrading the Samba version on that, and would like to see some resolution to this bug. happy to provide more information.

BTW, the nounix option changes behaviour, but does not fix it. If wanted, I can provide test and wiretap dumps later today.
