When I attempt to run Samba v1.9.16p2 on FreeBSD v2.1.5-RELEASE the SMB
name daemon (nmbd) dies with a segment violation. The actual SMB server
daemon (smbd) works fine.

This same version of Samba runs fine on FreeBSD v2.1.0-RELEASE and
v1.1.5.1. Copying the binary created on v2.1.0R to v2.1.5R gives the
same error. Turning off optimizations doesn't help either.

The older release version of Samba (v1.9.15p8) works fine on everything.

Anyone seen this before? Any patches, work-arounds etc. ?

I have posted a similar query in the comp.dcom.smb newsgroup, hoping
that some Samba developers will help out.
