Interesting. Crashing is certainly not something smbd is allowed to do. :)
Bug or misconfiguration ... ?

You really should search on google ("linux anti-virus"). I don't know 
about anything that checks every new file, but here are a few links:

http://www.kaspersky.com/
http://www.av-test.org/
http://open.jeffersonhospital.org/tju/dis/virus/resources.html

It also works to run an anti-virus program on a windows machine and check 
the shares over the network.
