OK, I have computer running Samba 4.4.0 and this in /etc/nsswitch.conf:

hosts:          files wins dns

'ping -c1 google.com' produces this:

PING google.com (31.55.167.184) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 31.55.167.184: icmp_seq=1 ttl=56 time=9.43 ms

--- google.com ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 9.432/9.432/9.432/0.000 ms

It doesn't segfault.

Can I ask, did you compile Samba yourself ?
If so, how did you create the libnss_wins.so.2 link ?
