-Uvh'ing to this build is causing smb mountpoints to hang permanently.
I've verified this on seven separate machines so far. If a share is
mounted via smbmount, and anything happens to that mount (network drop
or whatever) during access. That mountpoint hangs _forever_. It's
impossible to kill it with 'kill -9'. It's as bad as NFS. It used to
time out and give up after a while, and you could certainly kill it, but
this is no longer the case.

Even better (worse?), any process trying to access said mountpoint when
it hung is also un-killable, even by killing the parent shell.

I can't just bounce servers whenever samba gets cross to clear the hung
mountpoints and release all the fried processes. Perhaps a rollback to a
stable version of samba (2.2.2 or so) is in order unless and until >=
2.2.3 is stable.
