[Samba] smbd being killed by SIGPIPE

[Jerome Borsboom]

We are running samba-3.0.2rc1 under linux-2.4.24 with nss-ldap-
215. Sometimes the smbd children spawned by the main smbd 
process are killed by a SIGPIPE. A quick look in the samba 
source shows that SIGPIPE should be blocked all the time. 
However, looking at a /proc/*/status entry shows the SIGPIPE 
signal to be unblocked. 

Below are the pmap and /proc/*/status entries for one of our 
smbd processes. The SigBlk entry is of particular importance.
It is SigBlk: 0000000000000880 for this process which means that 
the SIGPIPE signal is unblocked. It should be SigBlk: 
0000000000001880 for a blocked SIGPIPE signal.

Can somebody confirm this?
