Ok.

So I put the following into the startup script of the samba daemon and 
assume this works:

 > ulimit -H -c unlimited
 > echo "/var/log/coredumps/core.%e.%p" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern

Nonetheless I'm getting no coredumps what makes me think about whether 
samba really crashes.

If it does, will it be restarted automatically? I couldn't find a reason 
for that within the Debian startup scripts.
