Unfortunately, our upstream doesn't keep a complete chronological
changelog and that makes it hard to check whether this is fixed in a
later version.

So, we could first try to narrow this down.

My first proposal if testing the unofficial packages for 3.2.12 (I
haven't taken time to update to 3.2.13 which is a security-only
release):

deb http://pkg-samba.alioth.debian.org/packages lenny-backports/

If the problem is still here, you can try 3.3.6 backported packages:

deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free

For the latter to work, you need to
- apt-get update
- apt-get -t lenny-backports install samba

Please tell us if one of these fixes the problem. This will help
narrowing things down and hopefully spot the patch that fixes this (I
consider it would then deserve going into lenny).
