I added debuging as follows:

                return (uint64_t)-1;
        }

                dsize_q = dsize_q * bsize_q / min_bsize;

So far the error has not been logged. I am getting output such as:

[2016/06/08 11:56:52.493274,  0] ../source3/smbd/dfree.c:127(sys_disk_free)
  dsize 0 bsize 1143062772 dfree 0 

[2016/06/08 12:01:50.331024,  0] ../source3/smbd/dfree.c:127(sys_disk_free)
  dsize 0 bsize 1795693380 dfree 0 

I will wait until the error is logged and then see what things look like.
Perhaps degugging statements in different locations will be needed.
