OK, thank you for that. I think these systemd messages threw me off:

Dec 14 00:59:01 kyra systemd[1]: smbd.service: Main process exited, 
code=dumped, status=6/ABRT
Dec 14 00:59:01 kyra systemd[1]: smbd.service: Failed with result 
'core-dump'.


Then the subject of the mail I got: "Panic or segfault in Samba" which 
is technically true but I have no way to differentiate between the two...

Then, the language in the mail from samba-common's 
/usr/share/samba/panic-action:

"This means there was a problem with the program, such as a segfault."

No hint that it could be settings :)

Anyway, it's expected. Still, samba-dbgsym does not exist.

I saw it does exist in sid...

Anyway, enough explanations and excuses, I hope this still can be useful 
this way.

thanks again, and sorry for the noise,
Maarten.
