I'd like to figure out what's happening here -- I've never seen a
reconnection failure, but at least one other user has reported this. My
Linux <-> NT connection drops frequently, but always reconnects on the
next reference to smbfs. Perhaps you could attach to the smbclient
process and see what it's doing after it gets the signal from smbfs?

It looks like smbclient packed up and left after it got the signal, and
maybe closed the socket smbfs was using?
