[Samba] smbd & nmbd segfaulting

[John Paul]

Greetings,

I have recently installed SuSE 10 on a Dell PowerEdge 1800. Everything is up
to date. I downloaded Samba 3.0.22, ran configure (with no options), make,
and make install. I created a very skeleton smb.conf to test out the smbd
and nmbd daemons. If I run the daemons, I cannot connect to them. If I run
smbd --help, I get the following output:

Usage: usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd [OPTION...]
  -D, --daemon=ARG                 Become a daemon (default)
  -i, --interactive=ARG            Run interactive (not a daemon)
  -F, --foreground=ARG             Run daemon in foreground (for daemontools
&
                                   etc)
  -S, --log-stdout=ARG             Log to stdout
  -b, --build-options              Print build options
  -p, --port=ARG                   Listen on the specified ports
Segmentation fault

The same thing happens for nmbd, it segfaults. If I run pdbedit --help, the
output is for more concerning:

What can I check? Is there a known problem on this OS? How can I help the
development team with figure out what's causing this?

All the best,
