I think you did the right thing by installing Samba 3.0.34.
Indeed the changelog suggest that it was fixed there:

    * Avoid a race condition in glibc between AIO and setresuid().
    * Become root for AIO operations.

> When the problem appeared we checked a lot of configuration issues.
> The problem seems NOT to be user or client specific.
> The users where the PANIC appeared:
>  - had a unix account
>  - a samba account with the same uid
>  - no special ulimits set
>  - no group membership which seems to be responsible for the problem
>  - su <user> did work, opening files as this user did work, no messages
