Alex, Thanks for that. Yes, I had that problem a while back (it caused me problems with hddtemp daemon), so it's not that this time around, I'm pretty sure.
Now, FWIW, I've written a quick'n'dirty script that makes samba wait at startup until the interfaces listed in "interfaces = " in smb.conf are all up. I've written this as a separate script that I keep in /usr/local/sbin /samba-netif-wait (attached) and I just stick a call to it into /etc/init.d/samba (as per the diff below). I've done it this way so I can easily re-use it if/when /etc/init.d/samba gets clobbered by an update. It works for me, causes no noticeable delay at boot-time, and might help someone else before this is fixed properly... if that ever happens.
