Immediately after incorporating these updates, samba restarted, and ever since, I have received 60-70 errors like the ones below in the log every day. samba was running for years before this with no errors in the log.
Samba name server ST8 is now a local master browser for workgroup WORKGROUP on subnet 192.168.1.2

Hi Bill,
Could you provide a minimal reproducer for the issue so we can dig this one up?
Moreover, is the only unexpected behavior you are experiencing is this message being pushed to your error logs or are you actually experiencing any functional issues?
