At seemingly random times, one of the smbd processes on our print server system
dies with a SIGSEGV.  Unfortunately, there are no core files left around so we
have no idea why this occurs.  The log entry from the latest crash is different
from the last 3, which all had something like:

[2005/09/29 11:40:55, 0, pid=23540] smbd/connection.c:register_message_flags(220)
  register_message_flags: tdb_fetch failed

as the last message before the failure.

The system is running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, with Samba installed from RPM.
 The Red Hat version number for the currently installed package is 3.0.9-1.3E.3.

Here is the (hopefully) relevant portion of the log file from the latest failure:

Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide that
will assist in finding and fixing this problem.
