If all you want is a backtrace, you could also have a file
/opt/samba/gdbcmds that has "bt" in it (or other commands), then change
the command to something like :

   /usr/bin/X11/xterm -e gdb -x /opt/samba/gdbcmds /proc/%d/exe %d \
	|| gdb -x /opt/samba/gdbcmds -batch /proc/%d/exe %d | mail root

This would give you the opportunity to debug it interactively if the
xhost works, otherwise it just mails the backtrace to root.

Also, if you are needing to do this on Solaris 7 or newer, rather than
using /proc/%d/exe, use /proc/%d/objects/a.out.
