Network is busy...

I'm no unix guru-dude (but I'm working on it), but obviously the 
runtime environment is different between the two machines.  The 
samba stuff (and unix/linux code in general) seems highly dependent 
on numerous shared libraries.  Have you checked the makefile(s) for 
the samba code and verified that all required libraries, etc, are 
the same versions on both machines?  Maybe the "production" machine 
is not quite as up-to-date as the test machine...

That's about all I can think of, however, there are much more 
qualified folks than I on this list.  Anyone else care to comment?
