[Samba] smbd hanging on OS X 10.4.8

[nicerobot]

Right, -i was intentional so that I can watch what it's doing from the
command-line, so that I can see the messages as a smbclient attempts to
connect. But it is actually hanging before it ever gets to a point in
the initialization that it will be capable of responding to connection
requests so I'll never see any debugging messages beyond the point where
it hangs.
