That's expected. smbtree expects to be able to open multiple
connections to the IPC$ share. When you're running smbd -i
you only get one smbd and when get_workgroups() has completed
in smbtree the connection is abandoned and will time out (it
really should properly close it, but that's a patch for
another day).
