Great (the no problems part) ! Can you attach with gdb to this error
message and get a backtrace when it occurs please ?
Thanks,
Jeremy.

Jeremy,
I'd need some pointers, I'm not all that familiar with gdb, and there is no way to stop on the error. NMDB still runs after displaying this; so, I don't think a back-trace will help find it when I kill the process.
It looks as though it may be trying to copy the allowable IP addresses into a structure that only has space for 15 characters. The ip [192.168.100.20/24] ends up being in the config file
[root at beta samba]# cat smb.conf | grep 192.168.100.20/24
interfaces = 192.168.100.20/24
