Package: samba Version: 3.0.21a-1 Severity: normal I did an upgrade yesterday, and since then I'm being bombarded with "Segfault in Samba" email messages.

These are generally due to unaligned accesses to memory (e.g. accessing a 32-bit integer from an address where (address % 4) != 0 ). On sparc, unfortunately, I don't know how to track these down :-( I'll try to reproduce it on an alpha (the kernel there is helpful enough to report such accesses and to fix them up, although there's a significant speed penalty). In the meantime I've downgraded to 3.0.14a-sarge1; up to now no problems. Paul Slootman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
