My system's network connection is a wireless one, and whenever I bring
the interface down to change networks, or get the hardware's driver back
into an unconfused state (it's not the most stable piece of coding),
nmbd exits.

[2007/07/17 09:00:19, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:reload_interfaces(229)
  reload_interfaces: No subnets to listen to. Shutting down...

It should just hang around, listening on localhost and/or 0.0.0.0 (all
interfaces) until another network interface comes back up. Currently, I
have to start it manually whenever it shuts down.
