I just got the same today while using tcpdump-smb. At first I was lost
but after reading another message in the list I think the problem is
that we are not using the "-s 1500" switch when running tcpdump-smb.

So I think this message is generated by tcpdump-smb and not by smbd or nmbd
sending a short packet to the wire.

I'll test my thoughts tomorrow. Let me know if it works for you.
