First, I do apologise for the entirely unacceptable delay in dealing
with this issue.  I've CC'ed the developers involved in that patch, in
the hope that they might be able to investigate it.

It certainly looks like this is a valid bisect, because when I set:
	interfaces = virbr0:0 lo 
	bind interfaces only = yes

in the smb.conf the crash isn't reproduced, but when I comment this out,
it crashes right away. 

I'll continue to look into this myself, as well as following up with
those involved in the change, but I wanted to give you a big thankyou
for doing the bisect, and to say that you clearly are on the right
track. 

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
