I went to version 6.5. Now smartmon appears to run ok - provided that I 
remove DEVICESCAN from /etc/smartd.conf and give it a specific device to 
monitor, like this:

/dev/nvme0n1 -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././02|L/../../6/03)

(following an example in the file). So I'm still feeling somewhat edgy.
