thanks

This seems to be caused by a crash while freeing interface information
returned by the standard libc function call getifaddrs(). We weren't
using this function call in older versions of Samba.

Does the following C application run without problems?

#include <ifaddrs.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void main()
{
    struct ifaddrs *iflist = NULL;

    if (getifaddrs(&iflist) < 0) {
        puts("Failed");
        return;
    }
    freeifaddrs(iflist);
}
