It didn't help, sorry.
gcc -v:
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809)

I played around with the *.tdb a bit. It may be a normal behaviour, but 
on certain circumstances the smbd does not crash.
in samba3.0.20pre2
rm -rf var/* (I made a backup)
restore orig-tdbs
cp samba3working/var/locks/*.tdb samba3.0.20pre2/var/locks/
=> smbd crashes

Next try, just guessing it has something to do with printing:
rm -rf var/*
restore orig-tdbs
cp ntprinters.tdb /opt/samba3.0.20pre2/var/locks/
rcsmb start && sleep 6 ; rcsmb stop      #OK
cp ntdrivers.tdb /opt/samba3.0.20pre2/var/locks/
rcsmb start && sleep 6 ; rcsmb stop      #crash

Ok, so it's ntdrivers.tdb?
rm -rf var/*
restore orig-tdbs
cp ntdrivers.tdb /opt/samba3.0.20pre2/var/locks/
rcsmb start && sleep 6 ; rcsmb stop      #OK, logfile says:
#[2005/07/27 21:12:35, 0] #printing/nt_printing.c:upgrade_to_version_4(397)
#  upgrade_to_version_4: upgrading printer security descriptors
#So both files are necessary to cause the trouble?
cp ntprinters.tdb /opt/samba3.0.20pre2/var/locks/
rcsmb start && sleep 6 ; rcsmb stop      #No, OK!

Only if I copy all tdb or the ntprinters before the ntdrivers, smbd 
doesn't start. Else, everything seems to be OK.

I don't know if this is of any value for you.

With kind regards,
