[Samba] Panic or segfault in Samba

[Bernd Kloss]

Debian Squeeze 
2.6.30-1-amd64

Samba 3.3.4-1

Hello, 

everytime an XP-Client is connecting to samba, we get a panic-action_warning 
(as shown below)

We tried to trace the error by debugging, but this produces a log with more 
than 94.000 lines.

Is anybody out there, who knows, what the panic-script is trying to say?

What can we do to find the cause for this behaviour and a remedy?

Thanks 
Bernd








The Samba 'panic action' script, /usr/share/samba/panic-action,
was called for PID 2060 (/usr/sbin/smbd).

This means there was a problem with the program, such as a segfault.
Below is a backtrace for this process generated with gdb, which shows
the state of the program at the time the error occurred.  The Samba log
files may contain additional information about the problem.

If the problem persists, you are encouraged to first install the
samba-dbg package, which contains the debugging symbols for the Samba
binaries.  Then submit the provided information as a bug report to
Debian.  For information about the procedure for submitting bug reports,
please see http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting or the reportbug(1)
manual page.

The program is running.  Quit anyway (and detach it)? (y or n) [answered Y;
