It appears something changed in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat.
Opening the directory containing the mount point in Nautilus or doing an "ls" in terminal has a noticeable delay (~11 seconds) but nothing seems to freeze completely.
In Nautilus the mount point disappears (even with Show Hidden Files) and in terminal the message "ls: cannot access /mnt: Host is down" is shown.
In dmesg I get:
[16612.499756] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13

I think this issue is finally resolved.
