When trying to run samba (compiled on SAME machine as trying to start on),
it simply does nothing and drops an error in the logs - something like this:

when running smbd like this:

smbd -F -S -d 10 > debug.txt

you end up with a lot of info in debug.txt, ending like this:

Well, I haven't solved this one yet, but here's some nice-to-know stuff in order to debug it:

1) the system's based on SuSE 7.3
2) samba version 3.0.5, 3.0.6 and 3.0.20b show the exact same error.
(have only tried those)
3) when trying to start other samba-apps (e.g. bin/testparm), they exit with "Segmentation fault"
