In one situation where I was seeing this issue it was due to conflicting
Master Browsers on the network. By moving to a WINS environment and
disabling File Sharing on some of the workstations we were able to stop the
Master Browser election process from causing the SigTerm: Going Down events.

the cause for everyone's issues but it might help some users. Similar to
using WINS you could promote the server to a PDC and log the Windows
stations into its domain, if you are finding that Master Browser elections
are causing your issue. The logs of Windows stations could help determine
if that's the case. Be wary of this as it might not be your issue, so
verify it is before going through all the work of moving to a WINS or PDC
environment.

I have seen continued reports of this in 10.4.7. I have not personally
experienced this in 10.4.7.
