Debian Tag 451839

and (the important one) 
Samba bug 5087

Discussion if this situation on the samba list dated 11-16 just appeared on Nabble (watch the wrap):

http://www.nabble.com/-samba-bugs@samba.org:-DO-NOT-REPLY--Bug-5087--Crash-of-smbd-
after-upgrade-to-3.0.27--t4822039.html

Apparently their QA never tested a unix-unix situation. I suspect a  fully tested fix will be coming 
shortly from samba.org since they seem very aware of the issues.

BTW, there are no known exploits <yet> with the old version, so if you are running mixed use samba 
it is probably safe to revert to the old rpms. YMMV.
