This morning I got a message from Ubuntu that there were updates for
12.04 on the desktop, which included a new kernel. Knowing that this
would require a reboot I decided to apply them and reboot, hoping that
the reboot would solve my problems.

After rebooting the share is no longer mounted. But the mount command
hangs. I stopped it with Ctrl-z, which resulted in "stopped [mount
command], but I note that now I have the mount command running in task
manager. From past experience, when the mount command hangs it just
stays hanging regardless of how long I leave it. An error message would
be helpful, but I get nada. However, the umount command now properly
says the share is not mounted, rather than "device is busy."
