Did a little debugging tonight :
The problem stands in the smbd/server.c file, open_sockets_smbd 
function, close_low_fds(False); call ( line 414 )
The close_low_fds function is declared in the lib/util.c file
And the stack smashing problem stands on the close(1) statement ( at the 
begining of the function )
I commented the whole content of the close_low_fds function
Then another stack smashing pb on the 'return True' statement line 436 
of smbd/server.c
I commented this line and no stack smashing pb anymore : weird

But my shares do not work neither ;-(

Will try to ask help from the anti stack smashing guys ... if I can find 
them
