Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic

Through an accident I could not reproduce, I mounted smbfs three times
to the same folder, "~/Desktop/share".

Listing the files on the desktop now took 30s, independent of the application: 
Nautilus, ls, the save/open-Dialogues...
ls -l printed the following for the folder: "?---------  ? ?    ?   ?  ?   
share"
sudo rm -rf share resulted in another 30s wait and an Input/Output error.
mount share listed 3 identical mounts on the folder, after 'sudo umount share' 
it were 2, after another 1, and then none.
After the unmounting, ls took 0s as always and the folder was shown as usual 
and could be deleted.

The mount command used was:
sudo mount -t smbfs //OTHER/folder ~/Desktop/share -o 
username=usr,password=pwd,uid=1000,gid=1000,rw,umask=666

The computer where the share has been mounted from did some reboots in
the time between the mounts and me spotting this bug.

It seems as if something went incredibly wrong in the kernel -- why was
I allowed to mount something thrice in the first place? Maybe
mount.smbfs crashed and remounted without umounting first?
