I've tried to isolate the problem and failed - loading ANY profile
from my Samba server seems to fail with the head branch (1.9.18p8
works fine with the same config). That is, if the profile doesn't
exist all is fine, just as Mick said.

I have experimented with different Samba settings to no avail. My
'safe' setup (minimal smb.conf, security=share, max permissions, etc.)
is below, and even this results in the NT crash. (I've pointed NT4 at
\\2e1-new\profile\students)
