I used sharity-light once before (on 3.3-R) and it worked, although
not very well.  Since then, I have upgraded the same machine to
3.5-Stable.  Now sharity light fails as I mentioned above.

I had heard of smbfs somewhere else, and decided to try it (in fact, I
came across your web page while searching google).  I followed the
instructions listed in the INSTALL file, and when I do:
 
    #kldload /modules/smbfs.ko

the system crashes with an `Invalid Page Fault in Kernel mode'.

Any clue?  I'd be happy to provide any other information that might
help.

Thanks in advance,
