It should end up in the logs (it goes to stderr, and that should be
dup2()ed to the logs.

Thanks.  Once we have the details from the logs, we should know much
more about what is going wrong.  Otherwise, if something goes wrong and
gdb_backtrace doesn't work, go back to the default, get one of the
crashed processes and run:

gdb -p <pid>
bt full

and mail the results to us (and samba-technical if not private). 

Thanks!
