Hi,

It seems not reproducible here with version 2.0.3-2 (probably earlier
versions too).

$ lsof | grep libsmbclient.so.0 | awk '/vlc/ {print $0}'

vlc       4402           brutux  mem       REG                8,6  
6023488  670363 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsmbclient.so.0
vlc       4402 4409      brutux  mem       REG                8,6  
6023488  670363 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsmbclient.so.0
vlc       4402 4421      brutux  mem       REG                8,6  
6023488  670363 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsmbclient.so.0
vlc       4402 4461      brutux  mem       REG                8,6  
6023488  670363 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsmbclient.so.0
vlc       4402 4462      brutux  mem       REG                8,6  
6023488  670363 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsmbclient.so.0

Please could you check if you're still suffering this bug with the last
version in Wheezy?

Cheers,
