PANIC: internal error when deleting users

[Gianni L]

thanks Michael,
doing a little check after calling ldb_dn_get_rdn_val() solves the
crashing issue.
but I still think I f*cked up my tdb files yesterday when I tried to
delete the whole subtree from the directory.
the "net ads user -S altair -U administrator" gives me the whole list
of the users I imported yesterday.
but not everyone of that users "exists" anymore in the db.
fact is that if I try to delete a user where the information is still
consistent in the directory it makes no problem but if I tried to
delete another user the samba damon crashed.
is there a way to repair the db files?
if there's no way it's not a problem 'cause it's still a testserver :)
thanks
Gianni
