That's all really! I now try to run smbtree, and it just prints "Aborted" at me. I found an entry in the RedHat bugzilla describing the problem, which seems to suggest that the new glibc is at fault. This seems reasonable to me, as I first noticed it after doing an emerge -uD world, which updated to glibc-2.3.4.20041006, from glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1. (I don't think this is amd64 specific either, but I can't confirm it on anything else.)

I just noticed the same on my machine with samba-3.0.7-r1 and glibc-2.3.4.20041006. It's a 32 bit Athlon so it's not amd64 specific. Also the "Aborted" seams to come from bash itself since zsh prints something differnt ("zsh: abort smbtree"). The program itself just exits with an error code of 137 (SIGABRT?). I also get a message in my syslog like the redhat-guy: Oct 26 11:17:52 com-13 smbtree: *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x080eea00 ***
The samba team is aware of this, and it should be fixed in 3.0.8: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1972
3.0.8 is out, can you try if it solves your problem ? i'm closing the bug now, as the issue should be resolved. Feel free to re-open it if you still encouter problems.
Yup, 3.0.8 fixed it for me.
