Actually, it didn't... I hadn't waited long enough. Oh well... following
Andrew Perrin's suggestion, I changed to running samba as daemons instead of
from xinit, and now I'm not getting the messages in syslog (obviously). I'm
also not getting any obnoxious messages in /var/log/samba/*, so I'm hoping
that things are a bit happier.
