I couldn't spot any suspicious change with 'diff -Nru
samba-3.2.5/source/nsswitch/libwbclient/
samba-3.5.6~dfsg/nsswitch/libwbclient/'

OTOH, libwbclient0 and samba in lenny depend on libtalloc1, while they
depend on libtalloc2 in squeeze.  I wouldn't be surprised if that
mismatch caused the crash.

Cheers,
