Have a look here:
  http://www.klevze.si/samba/history/samba-3.0.14.html
- somebody claimed it was fixed in 3.0.14

You could try to do this on the kubuntu machine:
  apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
- provided you can get apt-get to work okay.

This might be better than mucking around with all the other machines.
