	Overview: client or networking problems!

	The socket has become disconnected, so a query for the ip
	address ("peername") of the machine at the other end failed.

	And now we get an EPIPE, reported three times from different
	 operations.


	Your samba logs should be showing disconenctions and
	probably reconnections.

	This mat be a bad hub, cable or router, or you may
	have a bad client. Look at the Samba logs to see
	which one it is.

	PC clients assume the server may crash at any time
	(which used to be very true!) and try to recover
	from that without "bothering" the user with error
	messages. This tends to make networking and client
	TCP problems **really** hard to diagnose.
