[Samba] INTERNAL ERROR: Signal 11 in pid xxxx (3.0.26a)

[marcinkk at enter.net.pl]

Hello,

I have a problem with samba 3.0.26a (from ports) on FreeBSD (amd64, 
SMP, 6.2 RELEASE). My log.smbd looks like below:

--- samba starts normally:

[2007/11/24 16:55:22, 0] smbd/server.c:main(944)
  smbd version 3.0.26a started.
  Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2007

--- but an error is reported:

[2007/11/24 16:55:22, 0] 
/usr/ports/net/samba3/work/samba-3.0.26a/source/lib/pidfile.c:pidfile_create(112)
  ERROR: smbd is already running. File /var/run/smbd.pid exists and 
process id 1961 is running.

--- /var/run/smbd.pid exists, becase the error is created after 
unexpected system shutdown...

--- next I can see in log.smbd:

--- the error is repeated about 100 times ... and it is still repeated.

Next I can see in the top a lot of run smbd processes. System load 
grows and smbd makes it unresponsible. Connection with ssh is 
impossible, I can only use (with problems) console. Command "killall -9 
smbd" helps, system goes back to normal work.

I can run samba again but I must use the following procedure:

- cd /usr/ports/net/samba3
- make deinstall

Samba is now deinstalled. Next I must delete the directory 
/var/db/samba an I can do:

- make reinstall

And after start samba works properly until next unexpected system restart :(

If I do only:

- make deinstall reinstall

Without deleting /var/db/samba, than the samba will start and procedure 
described on the start of this message will be repeated :(

It is problem with FreeBSD on amd64? Or the problem with samba 3.0.26a? 
I reverted to samba 3.0.24 to check if the problem back...
