[Samba] INTERNAL ERROR: Signal 6

[Wolfgang Mader]

Hallo list,

I am running a samba server on Arch Linux. From time to time I get this error 
message in the system log (journalctrl, log from systemd). I have read the  
Trouble-Shooting section of the Samba HOWTO as pointed out in the error, but I 
could not find anything related. Can s.o. please tell me how to approach this 
error, or even tell me that the reason could be.

Any help is really appreciated. Please CC me, since  I am off-list.

Thanks,
Wolfgang
