Your client reset the connection. Possible network issues.

Your client 'went away'. Possible network issues.

Fix this. If samba every 'panics' then it is terminating itself with
extreme prejudice. You *will* corrupt files - if your program doesn't
like having a half-rewritten file.
Samba is changing to a new group id, but when it double-checked, it had
not changed. Do any of your users or groups have negitive GIDs?
