I know it is bad form to followup my own post, but I have some more information.
I was able to install the "compat1x" libs on 2.1.5R, compile Samba binaries on a
v1.1.5.1 host, and run them on 2.1.5R (!!)

So, to summarize, with v2.1.5R I have:

Samba version           Operational?    Notes

1.9.15p8 (2.1.5R bin)   yes
1.9.16p2 (2.1.5R bin)   no
1.9.16p2 (2.1.0R bin)   no              (works fine on 2.1.0R)
1.9.16p2 (1.1.5.1 bin)  yes             (with compat1.x libs)

Could there be some library incompatibility between FreeBSD 2.1.5R and Samba
1.9.16p2?

In the comp.protocols.smb newsgroup, someone running NetBSD has the same problem
as myself, while correspondance with someone else reports no problem with
FreeBSD v2.2-??
