>From your description, this sounds like a bug that was fixed in the upload
of 3.0.25b-2:
* cifs-umount-trailing-slashes.patch: canonicalize mount point names when
umount.cifs is called, to avoid unnecessarily leaving entries behind in
/etc/mtab if invoked with a trailing slash in the mount point name

Does it hang before or after the point that the share is unmounted? (Can be
checked from another console using cat /proc/mounts)
Can you send strace output of this unmount attempt? After you hit CTRL-C,
does /etc/mtab get updated, or does the unmount command terminate
immediately?

Disagree, I think this entirely an smbfs bug.
