This was a post in the samba mailing list, but I think it's becoming 
technical.
I found out, that the problem only occours, if the debug level is smaller 
than 3.
Tracking it down by "try and error" and having uploaded more than 100 drivers,
I found a DEBUG makro in "rpc_server/srv_pipe.c" "api_pipe_request (...).
Changing the required level from 3 to 0 fixed the problem (which might be the 
same as in a post by Bryan Fetzer (... uploading drivers ok, ERROR...)).

After some more tests I discovered, that I can replace the DEBUG makro with a 
call of a function like this (neerly a part of the DEBUG makro):

BOOL debgtext( char *format_str, ... )
  {
  va_list ap;
  char msgbuf[1024];

  va_start( ap, format_str ); 
  vslprintf( msgbuf, sizeof(msgbuf)-1, format_str, ap );
  va_end( ap );

  return( True );
  } /* dbgtext */

Seem's to be a stack problem.
Decreasing msgbuf size -> error
Increasing size to 4000 but no vslprintf call -> error.
Now I'm stuck.

I can't see anything in the network-traces and the smbd does not crash.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Martin
