Weird Samba misbehaviour.

[Adam Funk <a24061@yahoo.com>]

I routinely run the Windows backup utility to create the backup file on
a network drive which is really a Samba share on my Debian box.  Today
it doesn't work: Windows backup says "Q:\w2k.bkf" is not accessible. 
But at the same time, I can create, edit, save and rename a text file
on the Q: drive.  Backup alone thinks Q is inaccessible.

Here are the tails of the Samba logs (192.168.123.2 and bobmoose are the
same machine.

Any idea what is causing the "read_socket_data: recv failure for 4.
Error = Connection reset by peer" error?
