I found a non-crash bug in mount.cifs[1] and hoped to use the debug 
symbols to get a better idea of where it was occurring without 
rebuilding samba myself (yet).

Naturally I'll have to build Samba myself if I want to do any real 
debugging, I just thought maybe the debug symbols were left out by accident.
