samba - Aug 2003 - Visualage Gen seems to need extended attrib of a file

We can't run VisualAge Generator (2.X) retriving files from the samba
server (AIX). (we receive smberror: ErrDos 282 )
It seems to require to read the extended attrib to find out the version
of the file (and until now I can't realize what else). Is there any
workaround or patch to get rid of it? Can Samba works fine with this
kind of application? 

Thanks in advance,

Unfortunately we don't support EA's from Samba. Now Linux has
filesystems that support them it's something we may add in
the future.

Is VisualAge Generator (2.X) an OS/2 application, or a port
of one ? They tended to use EA's.
