I have exactly the same problem. I have a Debian Woody machine running 
Samba 3.0.7-1 as PDC, and some Win XP SP1 machines as client. Everything 
works fine: shares, domain logon, roaming profiles, etc.
Recently I updated ONE machine to SP2 and I get the same problem, i.e. 
the client seems to login properly but then shuts down, reporting the 
same exception in "msgina.dll". All SP1 machines can still logon fine;
furthermore, if I log into the SP2 machine as a local user I can still 
browse samba shares.

Any help/suggestion would be very much appreciated.

Best Regards,

Nicola

I recently asked a similar question.  My symptoms were similar but
different.  My solution was to set:

use sendfile = no

and restart samba.

See if it's the same sort of problem for you?
