dieter,

can you please kindly increase the debug log level to something large 
(10) and see if you can reproduce this?

also, it would help if you could do this:

recompile with -g -g
gdb nmbd 791 (or, nnnn, where nnnn is the pid of the nmbd process)
type continue at the prompt.

when it crashes, do a where and also print some of the variables.

send the output and the section of the log.nmb file leading up to the 
crash to samba-bugs, then let me know when that's done, ok?

nmbd is a single process, so if it crashes we need to know about it and 
fix it immediately.

regards,

luke
