2.0.7pre2 - problem with include =

I'm experiencing a problem with 2.0.7 (both pre1 and pre2) when an
include = directive is present in smb.conf (same smb.conf with 2.0.6
works OK).  The smbd process responsible for listening for new
connections seems to work fine, but child smbd's seem to crash as soon
as they are fork()ed. In the machine-specific log files, I get:

  ===============================================================
[2000/03/24 17:00:51, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(41)
  INTERNAL ERROR: Signal 11 in pid 30206 (2.0.7-pre2)
  Please read the file BUGS.txt in the distribution
[2000/03/24 17:00:51, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(43)
  ===============================================================
[2000/03/24 17:00:51, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic(2381)
  PANIC: internal error
[2000/03/24 17:00:52, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(40)
  ===============================================================

and this is repeated several times.  Increasing the log level has no
effect for the child smbd log files.  When the include directive is
commented out, everything works just fine.  Here is an excerpt of my
smb.conf.

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# Date: 2000/03/08 12:09:27

# Global parameters
[global]
	workgroup = CORTEX
	netbios name = ARAGORN
	server string = Aragorn PDC
	interfaces = <snip>
	encrypt passwords = Yes
	passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
	passwd chat = *password* %n\n *password* %n\n *successfull*
	password level = 10
	unix password sync = Yes
	log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
	log level = 1
# this is the offending line.
#	include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf-%m
	max log size = 2000
	logon script = %m.bat
	logon home = \\%N\%U
	logon path = \\%N\%U\profile
	logon drive = f:
	domain logons = Yes
	dns proxy = No
	wins server = <snip>
	guest account = guest
	hosts allow = <snip>

<snip>

Any ideas?
