Hi,
I come by trying to close or revive bugs that are dormant for too long.

In the meantime this has hit others, but with even less replies/activity :-/
- https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=245628

Even a decade ago the workaround was and seems to stay "disable netbios over tcp/ip for
the address you don't want" [1] up to this day.

Summary:
- Debian stated this fixed in 2:4.5.2+dfsg-1 but if you read the case that isn't true.
- And (thanks Brian) it is also still present in Focal

TODO from here:
- Sadly so much time has passed that it makes sense to ask to retry with jammy
- In general a repro on the developer side would make sense

Question: maybe if one has them handy, are there steps to repro this without a windows system. For example two Ubuntu VMs - of which one gets a few extra virtual interfaces and then forcing it somehow to provide more than one of those IPs via wins? From experience in other cases that linux-only repro helps to get traction.
