samba - May 2005 - OS/2 EA extended attributes issue / volunteer testing

I am actively using OS/2 Version 4.5 (mcp 2) as a client to a Samba server
(currently 3.0.14a) running on SuSE 9.1 pro.  I understand work has been done on
the OS/2 extended attributes handling issue in Samba as of 3.xx, but (I have
experienced) that it still doesn't work correctly, especially with the GUI. 
Does anyone know what the status of this issue is?  I would like to offer my
services, sadly not as a programmer, but rather as a tester and logger in order
to expedite the fix of this bug.
