I've added support to Samba so that it's stderr is always redirected to it's logfile.
I'm hoping that this will allow us to create a default for 'panic action' that can get user's the debugging information they need when smbd crashes. In particular, it could give us vital clues in some of the unreproducable crashes we get from time to time. So, the challange is out: Provide a patch that implements a configure test to find the appropriate debugger, invokes it in a secure way and outputs it's work to stderr. From there it will end up in the currently open logfile. Anybody interested?
