Samba WINS server killing NMBD process

Samba 2.0.6 on VMS Alpha 7.2 using TCPIP Services for OpenVMS version 5.0
I've posted earlier about this problem, and have tried enabling higher
logging levels to track down the problem, but am still unable to ferret
out the problem. Basically, adding the line "wins support=yes" to my
SMB.CONF file results in the NMBD process starting, then dying a few
seconds later (after an election?).
In NMB.LOG after a restart of the NMBD process, I see the first
reference to WINS_SERVER when its "subnet" is created:
making subnet name:WINS_SERVER_SUBNET Broadcast address:0.0.0.0 Subnet
mask:0.0.0.0
After that, I see each of the various "names" - shares and whatnot - on
the LAN being added to the WINS database, i.e.:
add_name_to_subnet: Added netbios name *<00> with first IP 192.168.0.3
ttl=0 nb_flags=40 to subnet WINS_SERVER_SUBNET
[snipped more add_name_to_subnet lines]
add_name_to_subnet: Added netbios name WHATEVER<03> with first IP
192.168.0.1 ttl=510662 nb_flags= 4 to subnet WINS_SERVER_SUBNET
After some more names are added to other subnets, the log file ends with
these lines:

Note the empty entry at the end where the process stops. What should I
be seeing in the log if the WINS server was working? Can someone
running the Samba WINS server perhaps dig into NMBD.LOG and post what
should follow the last line, please.
Anyone have any suggestions for where I go next to look for the reasons
behind this behaviour?
