samba - Oct 2005 - smbd looping and consuming 100% CPU

Hi All,

I have a samba 3.0.4 installation on AIX 5.2 ML05. The problem I am facing
is that sometimes one smbd is looping and consuming up to 100% CPU time.
In the log I see the following entry:

 ==============================================================[2005/10/18
11:35:34, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(37)
  INTERNAL ERROR: Signal 11 in pid 39316 (3.0.4)
  Please read the appendix Bugs of the Samba HOWTO collection
[2005/10/18 11:35:34, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(39)
  ==============================================================
Did anybody face the same issue? Any help appreciated

Regards
Carli

You're probably going to have to upgrade.  No one is going
to spend a lot of time tracking down issues in code that old.
Sorry.  Wish I had better news for you.

Recently I has a similar issue with smbd (Samba 3.0.10) consuming 100% 
CPU, although I didn't have such nice logs.

Upgrading to a newer Samba version solved it.
