[Samba] INTERNAL ERROR: Signal 6

[Marc Muehlfeld]

Hello Wolfgang,

what version of Samba are you using? If it's a 3.x, can you try the 
latest 4.0 or better 4.1? And do you use a self compiled Samba or a 
package from somewhere?

If smbd crashes and produces a core dump, it sounds like you hit a bug.

Please open a bug report and add a level 10 debug log, that contains the 
moment when the bug appears (if you can force to produce it).

Also it would be very helpfull for the developers, if you add a 
backtrace to the bug report.

Andreas wrote a tutorial for providing information, when bug reporting:
