  And you can do umount /bad/dir ? Anyway, I suggest compile smbfs as module,
enable debug output and see what will happen.

  But the main question here is: where can I find smbfs maintainers ? It seems
the they care very little about what happening with this filesystem thus I
assume that anyone who see a bug can directly send fix to the linux-kernel,
am I right ?
