I'm having problems when mounting an smb share. The command goes well

I just had the same thing occur:
May 22 08:57:11 mcduff kernel: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer

This problem disappeared after I did a reboot when attempting to fix
some unrelated issue. I have no idea why, but I am not going to look a
gift horse in the mouth.
Same problem here. Setup an smb mount point. At first it appeared to
work as expected. I had full access to the share. Then it stopped
working. Not sure what changed. Have rebooted a few times but no
change in the problem. The mount appears to execute correctly but when
I try to ls the directory it hangs. At that point it is impossible to
kill the ls process or umount the share.
Well I thought this problem went away, but after running the system over
the weekend I found that this problem is intermittent. Sometimes the
mount works maybe for several hours and then wham ... Other times the
problem occurs immediately after doing the mount. I found that only a
reboot fixes the problem. Monday I downloaded samba-3.0.4-2 from
samba.org and installed it and so far have not experienced this problem.
I have been connected to the samba share for over 24 hours now with no
ill effects. This is a first since I upgraded from FC1 to FC2. Hopefully
I haven't spoken too soon as I did last time I thought the problem went
away.
