Package: samba Version: 2:3.4.5~dfsg-2 Severity: important I've just upgraded from 2:3.4.5~dfsg-1 to 2:3.4.5~dfsg-2 and nmbd segfaults when samba starts. That's why I thought it was "important", but I'm not sure, feel free to change the severity :) I've installed samba-dbg to provide a backtrace, but something weird happen (or I'm doing something wrong):

I've tried to follow the instructions in: http://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace but something seems to be wrong with the file.
