You might be better off asking on the Samba mailing list, but I can say two
things:
1) I've never see this happen before.
2) If the client is rebooting, the problem is with the client, not the
   server.

Windows 98 is notoriously buggy.  Although I've never seen it reboot just
because it was having trouble with a network share, I have seen it do all sorts
of other broken things.

However, it sure seems to me that this is a question that you'll get much better
answer on the samba lists than the FreeBSD ones, as it doesn't seem very related
to FreeBSD.
