well, we log the underlying error so the logs contain all that's needed to analyse the problem. A SBT doesn't add anything helpful in this case.

I guess we should generally only panick when facing an unrecoverable error in a Samba subsystem. In that case a SBT really helps, for every other case you just create work for the support team.
