logging out hangs win95 consistently

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

hi charles,

if i recall correctly, you are the person who mentioned that when a 
specific query for a netbios name comes in, nmbd hangs.

this is probably because the DNS name for that machine being queried is 
different from its NetBIOS name.

try "dns proxy = no", also try sorting out your DNS resolution on your 
server (the gethostbyname() call is blocking nmbd for a prolonged period 
of time: about 15 to 30 seconds).
