I hope you mean gdb - the GNU Debugger, not the database :-)

If you look in the manpage for smb.conf, you can setup a 'panic
action'.  This can do anything from popping up gdb in an xterm to
mailing you a backtrace.  

The example in the smb.conf is 

panic action = "/bin/sleep 90000"

This makes winbind just hang in there, so you can attach the debugger

Then you can attach gdb in the normal way:

gdb /path/to/samba/winbind 2348

where 2348 is the pid of the near-dead winbindd.

Run 'bt full' and give us the result.
