Package: samba
Version: 3.0.23b-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Since my Sid upgrade yesterday, Samba segfaults when started (at bootup, or
with /etc/init.d/samba start). It sends a mail to the root account.

As a result, the Windows box on my home network cannot print, and has no
access to files on my own machine. 

The problem is cured by downgrading to samba (and samba-common) 3-0-22-1
(now in testing).

The text of the e-mail follows below. 

Regards, Jan.

The Samba 'panic action' script, /usr/share/samba/panic-action,
was called for pid 7254 (/usr/sbin/smbd).

Below is a backtrace for this process generated with gdb, which shows
the state of the program at the time the error occurred. 

If the problem persists, you are encouraged to first install the 
samba-dbg package which contains the debugging symbols for samba 
binaries. Then submit the provided information as a bug report to Debian.
