Ensure you have removed any old binaries and shared libraries from
previous installations. 

If it still faults, please run under gdb (gdb --args samba -i -M single)
and get me a backtrace (bt full).

Then, get a backup and on that run, run 'samba-tool dbcheck -H
path/to/sam.ldb --cross-ncs --fix' (or let me know what errors that
gives). 

We have actually got an alpha13 provision that we test dbcheck on, so it
it reasonable to expect that to run.
