212000 objects is very large for Samba, but running out of memory isn't
a good idea either.  We need to work on dbcheck to make it able to
continue working on such large databases, rather than blowing up. 

I'm assuming you have an exceedingly large DNS partition, due to the bug
in Samba 4.1 where we would create a new deleted object each time DNS
was updated. 

If a core file was really dumped, getting that into a debugger and
getting a bt full may be enlightening.
