This is normal behaviour, and is not an error. The server disconnected,
the client reconnects.

alpha2 does not contain any direct changes to smbmount. It may be that
alpha2 is doing something a bit faster and that it works because of that.

There is one reconnect bug which is related to how long it takes for
smbmount to reconnect. If it is too long then the retry fails (too long is
currently 5 seconds).

The reconnect business has always been problematic. It is not one single
bug but a whole bug-nest.
