In the beginning, I did not specify the mechanism. So, whatever the 
default is.

The fstab entry was like this:
\\servername\resource /mountpoint cifs 
domain=MYDOMAIN,credentials=/etc/fstabcred,rw,noauto,iocharset=utf8,uid=username,gid=group,sockopt=TCP_NODELAY,users,file_mode=0640,dir_mode=0750,relatime 
0 0

I looked at cifs options, and tried to add "sign" and "sec=ntlmv2i". It 
made no difference. Still failure with 2.6.39, and mounting with these 
new options works fine with 2.6.38
