No,
The full message we get is the following:

Sep 10 16:14:55 ls-aiv-03 smbd[15088]: [2002/09/10 16:14:55, 0] 
lib/util_sec.c:assert_gid(111)
Sep 10 16:14:55 ls-aiv-03 smbd[15088]:   Failed to set gid privileges to 
(-1,79999999) now set to (0,0) uid=(0,0)
Sep 10 16:14:55 ls-aiv-03 smbd[15088]: [2002/09/10 16:14:55, 0] 
lib/util.c:smb_panic(1092)
Sep 10 16:14:55 ls-aiv-03 smbd[15088]:   PANIC: failed to set gid

All our users have the same primary gid: 79999999
The uid of our users are in the range 10000 - 200000
Our machine accounts all have gid = 49999999
uid's of our machine accounts are in the range 900-1000

We left our guest account at the default 'nobody'
uid/gid of nobody is 99/99

But we don't make any explicit use of the guest-account in our smb.conf file.
