Does the puke occur when the click on the server itself, or when they
click on a share/export?

YIKES!

Shouldn't crash NMDB either way.  Do you get anything in log.nmbd?  Set
the "debug level = 10" and make it crash.  Then post the last say ~100
lines of the log.

Are you using per-machine logs as well?
