[Samba] smb PANIC: internal error

[Annette Bitz]

Hi!

On my main server running Suse 9.2 with samba-3.0.14-0.1 (rpm) I just found 
the following in /var/log/messages:

Do I have a problem? ;-)
What does this mean? I wanted to read the mentioned Appendix "Bugs", but I 
couldn't find it.

Also I sometimes have the problem, that one smbd-process owned by root ist 
getting very busy taking up to 99% of my CPU (seen in top). Killing this 
process -> everything ist fine again.

Thanks in advance,
Annette
