Why 2 login failures before success?

Running Samba v2.0.4b on a RedHat v6.0 system, I find that when I log onto 
the server running Samba my authentication fails twice before succeeding.

I get these messages in the Samba log file:

[1999/06/16 11:45:11, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(532)
  smb_password_check failed. Invalid password given for user 'steve'
[1999/06/16 11:45:13, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(532)
  smb_password_check failed. Invalid password given for user 'steve'

>From a user's point of view my login always succeeds.  That is, the shares 
are always connected correctly, if a little slowly.

Anyone know why password authentication fail twice then succeed on the 3rd 
try?  Thank you.
