[Samba] Re: Intermittent "INTERNAL ERROR: Signal 11" with 3.0.24
Hi all
Follow up to this post, we've been able to capture a gdb
backtrace. Can anyone help with guidance as to what this
means. See below:
(gdb) bt

This is similar to the following panic message recorded in
syslog:

Versions:
Kernel: 2.6.5-7.97-bigsmp
smbd, nmbd, winbindd: Version 3.0.24-SerNet-SuSE
As I said earlier this problem occurs intermittently every
2-3 days, in 2 separate Samba installations, and when it
occurs Samba requires a restart to clear.
Much appreciated.
