libsmbclient, and indeed, the underlying library that it uses, libsmb,
were not written to be used from threaded applications.

I think libsmbclient will have to be rewritten against Samba 4 to be
usable from threaded applications.

In the meantime I would suggest that you dedicate one thread for handling
SMB-related things ...
