I have opened
https://salsa.debian.org/samba-team/samba/-/merge_requests/65
which modifies the language around the traceback to suggest causes other
than segmentation faults.
As mentioned there, the Samba panic function actually has a string that
explains the problem but it isn't passed to the panic-action script
which sends this email. Getting that into the into the email would be
moderately complicated (given backward compatibility, arbitrary strings,
panicking software, etc) and often wouldn't be very helpful -- though we
could improve the strings over time.
