	This appears to be the client falling over
	in mid-transfer: samba wrote 39 bytes, tried
	to read four back, and got 0. The receive_smb
	returned EOF, and samba cleaned up.

	This wasn't coming from the "john" share, was it?
	That one had just been disconnected from, earlier
	in the file:

[2000/02/20 22:38:31, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(568)
  winsrv (204.238.32.10) closed connection to service john
