Pretty much depends on how you log into the SMB share. Evidently there is still a bug in the password caching. Generally, on my 2.0.3 samba, I use the following command line:
smbmount //winnt/myshare <password> -c 'mount winnt'
And it works. Haven't seen it crash on 2.2.6 or 2.2.5, unless I reboot the NT box w/o first unmounting the share (is there a workaround for that, btw? NT boxes tend to reboot more than Linux boxes, and it would be nice if Linux could auto-unmount the share if the NT box is down/smbmount fails to reconnect).
The problems seem to arise when you enter the password at the password prompt instead of on the command line. I haven't tested extensively having the PASSWD environment variable set, but that is supposed to be stable, also.
For the above command line, there is supposed to be a scripting methond for expunging the password from .bash_history, and smbmount munges the password all on its own when you run ps on it...
