More testing (and the "Duh!" factor upon reviewing the code) reveals that the
code I added does not find all hosts in a workgroup; it finds "some" of the
hosts. Actually, it finds _one_ host each time it's run, not necessarily the
same host each time. I'll have to work on this some more if the
cli_session_request() method can't be made to work properly with win98 and
win95 machines as master browsers.
