I think theory 2 _and_ 4 is the one. I always had this problem too, until I saw <someone>'s theory about the calls to DEBUG(), and ifdef'ed all DEBUGs out of smbmount. smbmount closes all of it's filedescriptors at a certain stage, and therefore all later DEBUG()s will fail. This is with version 2.0.0. After removing these DEBUG()s, I have had no problems.
