I believe your interfaces setting in smb.conf is incorrect:
interfaces = lan wlan
That tells the service to bind to an interface named "lan" and an
interface named "wlan". If these interfaces don't exist, samba will fail
to start. It shouldn't segfault, of course, but it will definitely not
start.
Could you verify that setting please?
Regarding why purging and reinstalling samba didn't work, it's because
smb.conf is provided by the samba-common package, not samba. It's not
clear from the console output above if you also purged samba-common.
