Ok.  I suspect that this is a bug in the PAM module, not a bug in Samba; in
earlier releases of Linux-PAM, modules would use syslog in inconsistent ways
that were sometimes incompatible with an application's own use of syslog,
which may be what's causing this crash.  However, I'm not able to confirm
this for certain.

Can you try commenting out the line '@include common-session' in
/etc/pam.d/samba and adding a line 'session required pam_permit.so', to see
if this resolves your crashes?

Nothing in your smb.conf stands out to me as something that would contribute
to this, so I guess there's /something/ different about your system that
causes crashes others aren't seeing, but I have no idea what it is.
