Ok, that was the same conclusion I arrived at.  I'll put together a
patch to make 'smbclient -M' force a connection to port 139.

Well, the -p option was added only for the purpose of being explicit.  In
3.0, port 445 is currently the default port for *all* operations,
including smbclient -M.  So the code does need to change if -M needs port
139.
