Linux system crash - odd samba kernel messages

My Linux box just bit the dust in a dramatic fashion (complete lockup,
needed a cold reboot).

Although I am not at all sure what the cause was, the last message in the
system log mentioned samba, and there are some other funny looking
samba-related messages in there.

I'm not asking for a diagnostic, but if anyone has seen these before, maybe
they can tell me what they mean:

Last message before reboot:
Oct 26 12:24:03 whelk kernel: smb_put_inode: could not close

This one suggests to me that the file system had crashed for some reason,
so samba couldn't close an open file - but maybe I'm wrong.


Dubios messages following reboot:
Oct 26 11:43:48 whelk kernel: smb_dont_catch_keepalive: server->data_ready
== NULL
Oct 26 11:44:36 whelk kernel: smb_dont_catch_keepalive: sk->data_callback
!= smb_data_callback
Oct 26 11:45:31 whelk kernel: smb_dont_catch_keepalive: server->data_ready
== NULL
Oct 26 11:45:37 whelk kernel: smb_dont_catch_keepalive: server->data_ready
== NULL
Oct 26 11:46:21 whelk kernel: smb_dont_catch_keepalive: sk->data_callback
!= smb_data_callback

Thanks!
