Can't start Samba server after YUM Update

Description

I ran yum update on my server today and after rebooting everything worked except Samba server 3.5.19 would not start. It has been working fine for a long time. I get this message:

[C:\programs\samba]smb start

512 +++ GLOBAL.idmap_config_ * _!_backend = 'tdb';

REX0041: Error 41 running C:\programs\samba\smb.cmd, line 512: Bad arithmetic conversion

512 +++ Interpret istr; 302 +++ Call LoadSmbConf; 29 +++ Call _SambaGetProperties;

Any idea what this may indicate? I tried copying original gccxxx.dll files to the Samba directory, but it did not help. SMBD.exe will also not run - it exits silently. I'll have to back out the yum updates....

Nevermind... somehow coincidentally 'GLOBAL.idmap_config_ * _!_backend = 'tdb was added to my smb.conf. Removing this solved the issue. Please close and sorry for the alarm.
