    If im correct ive allready heard of this issue being solved. And should
    allready be patched in. Checkout the latest RELENG_5_3 and build your
    kernel over again and run that for a while "FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p5"
    otherwise try a different version of 'samba*' or see if there are some
    tweaks in the 'LINT' for the card itself. Im not quite sure why you would
    run in safe mode but whatever trips your trigger. 'mount_smbfs' instead
    of running 'samba' itself might also help you out a bit.

    Best regards
