Internal Error in nmbd

Tue Aug 8 21:44:34 GMT 2000

	We're running samba 2.0.7 on an alphalinux machine (kernel 2.2.16, this is redhat-alpha 6.0, if that's important) and
nmbd is crashing with an internal error.  See the logs below (log.nmb at the bottom).  I'd do some checking around on the
samba mailing list archives, but they've been down for some time now.  nmbd generates this message on startup.  When I ran it
from the shell (rather than using the spiffy redhat initscript) I get a core file and I've included the gdb output below.  
If there's any information I've not included I can probably provide it.

	I'm relatively certain that this isn't "just a configuration problem", but in the event that it is hopefully somebody
who understands all this can clue me in.  I'm also unsure if this should go to samba@ or samba-bugs@ and so I'm only sending
it to the former.

	Also, I've tried things like "touch /usr/local/samba/var/wins.dat" to no avail.  I don't get any sort of error
message but the daemon still dies with an internal error and removes the empty wins.dat.
