sorry about the recent null messages; it appears this problem is more
system wide :(

it seems to be a swap related problem.

even with only 70% swap usage, programs complain that they cannot
allocate any more memory.  this is with any user... but i'll try
fiddling with the login.conf values anyhow.

to summarize, smbd was trying to allocate 46 bytes but couldn't... this
resulted in later dereferencing a NULL pointer.  very reproducible, and
i can re-do the gdb backtrace dumps and so forth if theres interest.

ugh...
