Sorry.  I had forgotton about this bug submission.  I have some additional
information that will help.

I had an Mac OS X alias to an SMB server among a list of folders that contain
most of my LibreOffice documents.  Thus, when I accessed either an open or save
dialog box in LibreOffice, that alias would be visible in the list of folders
that I would be accessing.  At that point, LibreOffice would mount that server
on the desktop.  Understand that simply having that alias file in the open/save
dialog box would prompt the server to mount--I didn't have to click on it.

And, if I set my LO preferences to use native open/save dialog boxes (instead
of the Mac OS X version), this didn't happen.  Further, no Mac application that
I own will mount a server just because an alias to that server appears in an
open or save dialog box.

Also, the question as to what happens if the server is not available:  A
message is displayed saying that "There as a problem connecting to the <name of
server> server."

My workaround is not to have an alias to a server within a directory that I'm
likely to access from a LO open or save dialog box.
