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

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