Samba has a configuration parameter that allows you to set an arbitrary
command as a "panic action" script. This can then be used to gather
debugging information or prepare a bug report (see other thread). This
also has the added flexibility that binary packagers can add extra
information specific to their environment. It may be worthwhile to
research whether we could do something similar.
