I'm puzzled and just checked our ChangeLog from 2.1.1 to 2.1.2.  I do
need your help to nail this down since I'm not using smbmount.

Has smbmount been compiled against glibc 2.1.1 or 2.1.2?  Could you
try to recompile smbmount in your 2.1.2 environment (don't install it,
just test it locally) and tell us whether this works?

Is smbmount using one of the aio_* functions? 

Could you run ltrace one time with glibc 2.1.1 and the other with
glibc 2.1.2 and check where the output differs significantly?
