OK, ignore this. Totally silly error on my side and it has nothing to  
do with smbfs or even FreeBSD, it was... ahem, hardware related. As in  
a cable being half-plugged in, half not. Damn 8P8C/RJ45 connectors

PS. I haven't tried unloading it, though - that's got to be a real  
issue. Currently compiling world+kernel so I'm not very willing to try  
it right now.
