How much do I need to worry about this?

Samba can be used both ways.  You can mount Windows shares to the *nix
box, or you can create a *nix share for a Windows box to use.

That shouldn't be possible, given buffered I/O.  SegV is always memory
mismanagement anyway.  But to get things out of whack enough to do that,
you'd have to make reading/writing non-blocking and get things out of sync.
More likely than not you'd simply be reading incorrect data and still not
generating any segv.  It's in what you do with the data that you might
cause a segv.  But with buffered I/O?  No, not seeing it off the top of my
head.
