I use Windows 7's backup utility on six machines. All six are having this issue. The issue will not occur when Samba is set to NT1 mode rather than SMB2 mode.

Please set the following in the [global] section of your smb.conf: panic action = /bin/sleep 9999999 ensure that smbd has symbols loaded and then reproduce the problem. You'll find you have a sleep process whose parent is an smbd. Attach to that with gdb doing: gdb --pid=<pid-of-smbd> smbd then type: bt to get a stack backtrace. Please paste that backtrace into the bug report. Thanks ! Jeremy.
