No, the segfault is almost certainly because you have a backported
libwbclient0 from a different version of samba:

Please try installing the version of libwbclient0 from lenny.  If this fixes
your problem, then we have an undeclared library backwards-incompatibility
between libwbclient from samba 3.2.5 and samba 3.4.7 (and probably later),
which should be addressed before release.
