Problems configuring samba as a WINS server

I am having problems configuring samba 1.9.17p1 as a WINS server.
I have added "wins support = yes" to the [global] section of my smb.conf file.
I have not set "wins server" in my smb.conf file.
But my nmbd log file (which is now 4Mb) keeps reporting:
reply_netbios_packet: r_a not to be used when not a WINS server
which seems to indicate that WINS support has not been enabled.
What can I do?
I have read NetBIOS.txt, BROWSING.txt, etc.
Samba is running on an OSF1 V4.0 alpha machine.
Some relavant output from testparm:
server string: Samba 1.9.17p1
workgroup: WORKGROUP
domain controller:
os level: 65
dns proxy: Yes
wins support: Yes
wins proxy: No
wins server:
preferred master: Yes
local master: Yes
domain master: Yes
domain logons: Yes
browse list: Yes
Thanks,
Tom
