Hhmmm.

Yeah, bad configuration, but nmbd should probably be made more
resilient. I mean, a segfault because of bad configuration? An error
message indicating the problem and then an orderly shutdown would be
more appropriate.

Definitely not a bug in Samba, I agree, but there's definitely room for
improvement here.
