I think I am having the same bug as:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3084
I am runing glibc-2.4, Kernel 2.6.15.6, samba 3.0 from SVN, I tried
various versions of gcc, 3.4.4 to 4.1.1 and they all do the same.
When I try to start samba I get:
/sbin/start-stop-daemon: line 2: 14466 Aborted
start-stop-daemon.REAL $@
Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
Its coming from the gconv_db.c like in the bug.
I have a dual Athlon-mp.
Here is part of an strace from /usr/sbin/smbd
