Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
I am able to reproduce this as follows:
lxc launch ubuntu:yakkety samba-test
lxc exec samba-test bash
apt-get update && apt-get -y install samba
systemctl stop nmbd
ifdown eth0
systemctl start nmbd
It seems that nmbd hangs indefinitely waiting on a network interface, even if the loopback interface is up.
I think this is a bug because laptop users may have samba installed but don't always have a network available (apart from loopback).
