PANIC: failed to set gid

[InfraRED/Veres Tibor]

hi, my samba setup worked virtually unchanged for nearly a year, but
yesterday the following errors appeared:


[1999/11/27 17:18:06, 3] smbd/process.c:switch_message(448)
  switch message SMBtconX (pid 7568)

[1999/11/27 17:18:06, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic(2456)
  PANIC: failed to set gid


do you have any idea what can be the problem??

the system now runs debian potato, the samba package was recently
upgraded, but the problem persist if I downgrade the packege to a version
which worked a day before..
