Normally one would expect it to, yes. In this case, it looks like there may
be some stack corruption, or else a gdb bug that prevents a good backtrace.
The backtrace from your log file is much clearer and more useful:
<snip>
#3 [0xb7fb7420]
#4 /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(vsyslog+0x119) [0xb7cde679]
#5 /lib/security/pam_unix.so(_log_err+0x8d) [0xb7815b2d]
#6 /lib/security/pam_unix.so(pam_sm_open_session+0x109) [0xb7813519]
#7 /lib/libpam.so.0(_pam_dispatch+0x27a) [0xb7d779ea]
#8 /lib/libpam.so.0(pam_open_session+0x3c) [0xb7d79c7c]
<snip>
So for that, samba debugging symbols are irrelevant anyway given that the
crash is PAM-related.
What version of libpam-modules do you have on this system? I've never seen
a crash like this before with the Debian PAM and Samba packages.
