WINS.DAT and multiple registrations of the same name

[Richard Sharpe]

Hi Folks, 

here is the results of nmblookup -R -U rjspc1 and the wins.dat from my
favourite Samba 1.9.18p10 site!

The names RJSPC1#xx have multiple addresses against them.  This seems to
suggest that Samba will allow the same name to be registered more than once!

What is the go here?
