The "FindClient X had Y, stolen by X" messages simply mean that the
client X initiated two calls to the file server and the second call
blocked while the first was associating the incoming connection with
the host entry.

The WhoAreYou failed error indicates that there is a host entry on the
file server with that IP address and the IP address you are currently
connected from.

Question:  what version is the file server?
