Thanks for the reply, Jeff. I've filed a bug with the Samba tracker as you suggested: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8559 The program I'm using to write the output files is a bioinformatics tool that I've developed as part of my research. Our research group plans to release it as an open source tool soon, but currently it's hosted in a private git repository. So at the moment it may be difficult to release for testing.
