I too have been seeing Win95b systems hang when closing/logging off from
1.9.17 (WINS and DOMAIN MASTER = Yes).  I fired up an alternative Win NT
server running WINS and after reconfiguring the WIN95 to this new WINS NT
server the logoff worked ok.  Unfortunately, I then restarted SAMBA. I then
re-reconfigured the win95 back to the SAMBA WINS server and the Win 95
logged of the correctly.

It looks like the SAMBA WINS server needs to be restarted to stop win 95
logout hangs.  So a simple stop and start may stop the win95b hangs.
