[Wolves] Have I had a Samba DoS attack?

Hi all

On saturday at 15:52 (apparently) Samba on the server here at work 
segfaulted - apparently spontaneously.

Now what I'd like to know is - have I just had a DoS attack or is this 
worthy of being submitted to Debian?  It should be noted that everything 
else on the server /seems/ to be functioning correctly and samba 
restarted without issue, although slapd still stops uw-imapd-ssl from 
functioning for some reason.

Unfortunately dufus here left the machine sans Snort over the weekend so 
I don't have anything regarding that.  I know, I know...

Help!
