This is my first venture into gdb so perhaps you could just confirm I've
done the right steps:

1. Added "panic action = /bin/sleep 90000" to smb.conf
2. Started nmbd -D
3. Started smbd
4. Ran smbstatus to get PID 14140.
5. Opened printer in W2000.
6. Ran gdb /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd 14140
7. Typed bt

If the above is correct, here's the trace - it looks sensible anyway:

Cheers
