smbfs          3.0.21a-4 works fine here (on sid amd64)

However, I'm using cifs which is the latest implementation of windows
sharing.  I've got the cifs module installed and in /etc/fstab:

//<server>/<share> /smb/<share>    cifs //credentials=/home/<user>/.smb_pass,uid=<user>,gid=<group>,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770
//0       0
