Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Patrik Lundquist (patrik-lundquist)]

I used Valgrind to track down and fix some bugs. I bet there's still a ton of bugs left to discover but at least it is possible to browse network shares and copy files now.

I had to create the file ~/.smbc/smbcrc with the option "workgroup WORKGROUP" (see doc) to get smbc to respond to keystrokes other than Ctrl-C.

I also changed the compilation flag from -O3 to -O2 since the former triggers a lot of errors in Valgrind and likely makes smbc more crash prone due to the remaining bugs.
