This problem is new and 100% reproducable.  I've tried rebooting,
which should fix any intermittent problem.  Also the RAM is from
Crucial, and I'm not doing any overclocking of any kind.  Everything
else is 100% stable, except for samba, which crashes.

Turns out that it doesn't crash until a client tries to connect.

That's the first thing I fixed.  Didn't help.  Any other ideas?

Apparently, the crash is here:

>> timeout=0x7ffff4964060) at smbd/dnsregister.c:171

I'm going to pull the source and see what's there.
