I just did some testing. I have a system running Kanotix with kernel 
2.6.14. It obviously is too old and shows even more problems. The other 
system, on which I first came across these problems is a linux test 
system which works as a digital video recorder. Now, with recordings 
distributed across the network is can get very annoying if e.g. the 
on-screen display freezes if another system is down.
Anyway, this system is running 2.6.16-rc5 and uses an older version of 
busybox. That might be the reason because umount didn't work. I compiled 
your umount.cifs.c and it works just fine! Then I tried a newer busybox 
version and it too seemed to work.
So, don't worry. There are no umount related problems. Only the long 
timeouts are a bit annoying.

Bye and thanks for looking into this subject,
Daniel
