[Samba] internal error: signal 11

[Gerhard Vögel]

Hello,

we got the following error in the samba logs:

The error is continuously repeated with increased pids until the machine 
will be rebooted. Restart of smbd, nmbd and winbind has no effect.

Clients can connect to samba but they cannot access files. File access on 
NT clients is aborted with different messages. 

Samba version is 2.2.6 (Suse RPM) and linux kernel is 2.4.19, but it 
already happened with 2.2.4 and kernel 2.4.16. I cannot reproduce the 
error, but it happens once in a week.

I found similar errors discussed in the list archives but no explanation 
or solution.

Can anybody help.


Thanks

Gerhard
