The PANIC: internal error means that either OpenVMS or the C RTL, or other
library signaled an error that SAMBA either could not deal with or was
not expecting.

Unfortunately the SAMBA general purpose handler caught it and prevented
OpenVMS from giving you a stack dump of what was the real condition.

Fixing this to be more OpenVMS friendly is on my TO DO list.

If you increase the debug level, you may get more specific information
before PANIC is called.

Samba tries to get an exclusive RMS lock on the first record in
STATUS_2E.LCK.  The likely failure is that some other process has that
file open.

Increasing the debug level would probably help get more descriptive
messages.

NETBeui and SAMBA will ignore each other.  Windows clients will use
NETBeui instead of TCP/IP if the server supports it.  It can hide a TCP/IP
network configuration problem.
