I see the same thing with Windows 7 & Vista:

Dec 13 06:27:11 svr smbd[28206]: [2009/12/13 06:27:11,  0] lib/util_sock.c:539(read_fd_with_timeout)

Dec 13 06:27:11 svr smbd[28206]:   getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected 
Dec 13 06:27:11 svr smbd[28206]:   read_fd_with_timeout: client 0.0.0.0 read error = Connection reset by peer.
