I am really sorry to post this bug description here. This is definitely not a libsmbclient problem. Just there are no suitable component for it.

BUG DESCRIPTION
================

I use slackware-current(linux-2.6.17.4, glibc-2.3.6, samba-3.0.23)
I use libnss_wins.so to be able resolve netbios names with gethostbyname().
After upgrading from samba-3.0.22 to samba-3.0.23 I get a sigfault in libnss_wins.so code.

Here is my /etc/nsswitch.conf (it's necessary to to use libnss_wins.so with  
gethostbyname())

# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
passwd:         compat
group:          compat

hosts:          files wins dns
networks:       files

services:       files
protocols:      files
rpc:            files
ethers:         files
netmasks:       files
netgroup:       files
bootparams:     files

automount:      files
aliases:        files



Here is an examlpe of a problem (any application with gethostbyname() calls suit)
===============================
kl@laska:~$ ping any_netbios_name
Segmentation fault

Here is a gdb session log
