Mostly because I don't know libsmbclient [enough]. I'm not sure it is a 
libsmbclient bug, and if it is, I couldn't explain what the bug is nor 
provide a testcase.

Second, other users are more likely to look for a bug report against 
kdebase-kio-plugins than libsmbclient.

Ideally, someone would check how kio-smb uses libsmbclient, open a new report 
if appropriate, and mark this one as blocked.
