This is a known bug in both 2.6 and 3.0-beta-2. The problem is caused by 
machines that enforce the NX bit on pages. A typo in the Sam and Priv 
extensions (2.6/3.0) resulted in a page not being allocated with the 
execute permission bit set. This has been fixed in the source, but 
compiled versions of the extensions have not yet been pushed to the 
update tree.

Since this crash occurs in the LSASS service, the machine will not be able 
to process authentication requests until it has been restarted. I should 
be able to rebuild and update the Sam extension tonight, thanks for 
reporting it!
