nmbd was linking with a 'mismatched' (and unowned) "libwbclient0 in
/lib64 -- the "real" libwclient0 from the suse package is installed
in /usr/lib64.

So this was basically a local system config screwup were I had out-of-date,
self-built libs in the wrong place that were given preference over the
official system built ones.  A configuration-build mistake put them
in /lib64 instead of the desired /usr/lib64....

*sigh*

live & learn.
thought I'd doc the resolution incase anyone else ran into something similar.

FWIW, I used ldd -r on nmbd to see what libs it was really loading.
I also noted that 'readelf' showed nmbd didn't need "talloc", which is
what led me to start looking at the libs that nmbd was pulling in....

C'est la vie
