sambaTNG 2.3 printing from NT4SP3 machine

Hello,

I'm working with samba-TNG-2.3.  I've got it running as PDC
and fileserver on a Sparc Solaris 7 machine.

I'm trying to configure a printer that is connected to the 
epp0 port of the samba machine.  The problem occurs when
I try to setup the printer on my NT 4 machine.

I click Add Printer, Network Printer Server,  Then browse
and select the printer (a DJ870C that has a ghostscript front
end on the Unix box).  Once I select the printer I get the
following output in log.spoolss:

INTERNAL ERROR: Signal 11 in pid 11782 (TNG-alpha)
Please read the file BUGS.txt in the distribution
===============================================================
PANIC: internal error
Memory allocation error: failed to expand to -136 bytes
===============================================================
INTERNAL ERROR: Signal 11 in pid 11787 (TNG-alpha)
Please read the file BUGS.txt in the distribution
===============================================================


Below is my smb.conf file:
Thanks,

Pete.

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash) 
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
# to check that you have not many any basic syntactic errors. 
#
#======================= Global Settings =====================================
[global]

# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name
  workgroup = DEAS
#
  netbios name = beech

# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
   server string = DEAS NT/UNIX Server

# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page
#   hosts allow = 169.226.
# If you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
#   load printers = yes

# you may wish to override the location of the printcap file

printcap name = /etc/printers.conf
print command = lp -d%p
lpq command = lpstat -t
lprm command = cancel %j

# on SystemV system setting printcap name to lpstat should allow
# you to automatically obtain a printer list from the SystemV spool
# system

# It should not be necessary to specify the print system type unless
# it is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include:
# bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx

# Uncomment this if you want a guest account, you must add this to /etc/passwd
# otherwise the user "nobody" is used
  guest account = nobody

# this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects
#   log file = /usr/local/samba/var/smblog.%m
   log file = /free/samba2.3/var/smblog.%m

# Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).

# Security mode. Most people will want user level security. See
# security_level.txt for details.

# Password Level allows matching of _n_ characters of the password for
# all combinations of upper and lower case.

# You may wish to use password encryption. Please read
# ENCRYPTION.txt, Win95.txt and WinNT.txt in the Samba documentation.
# Do not enable this option unless you have read those documents
#  update encrypted = yes

# Unix users can map to different SMB User names

# on a per machine basis. The %m gets replaced with the netbios name

# Cause this host to announce itself to local subnets here

# Browser Control Options:
# set local master to no if you don't want Samba to become a master
# browser on your network. Otherwise the normal election rules apply
   local master = yes

# OS Level determines the precedence of this server in master browser
# elections. The default value should be reasonable
   os level = 128

# Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser. This
# allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use this
# if you already have a Windows NT domain controller doing this job
   domain master = yes 

# Preferred Master causes Samba to force a local browser election on startup
# and gives it a slightly higher chance of winning the election
   preferred master = yes

# Use only if you have an NT server on your network that has been
# configured at install time to be a primary domain controller.
;   domain controller = <NT-Domain-Controller-SMBName>

# Enable this if you want Samba to be a domain logon server for 
# Windows95 workstations.

# per user logon script
# run a specific logon batch file per workstation (machine)

# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:

#	Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both
   wins server = 169.226.38.62

# WINS Proxy - Tells Samba to answer name resolution queries on
# behalf of a non WINS capable client, for this to work there must be
# at least one	WINS Server on the network. The default is NO.
;   wins proxy = yes

# DNS Proxy - tells Samba whether or not to try to resolve NetBIOS names
