samba panic or segfault

[py]

hello

i get these from time to time via webmin's mails :
it is on my home server ( old machine : asus a7n8x athlon 2000)
ubuntu 12.04
nothing special .
this config was updated from 10.04 but had the same problem before

i am quite new to these things
are these infos sufficient?
have a nice day
Pierre-Yves

i forgot the first lines ..

The Samba 'panic action' script, /usr/share/samba/panic-action,
was called for PID 23372 (/usr/sbin/smbd).

Hi py, its very difficult to debug an issue like this without two important things:

1) a core dump from the segfault. If you attach that, please mark the bug private first (so that nobody can read the contents of your RAM).

2) log files for smbd surrounding the event.

Without those, we won't be able to do much here.
