[Samba] Master domain browser after IP change?

I just renumbered my local network, from 192.168.1/24 to 192.168.23/24. 
  My samba 3.0.10 server, which is configured to be the local and master 
domain browser, seems to be a bit confused:

nmbd/nmbd_become_dmb.c:become_domain_master_browser_wins(327)

Jan  4 22:03:34 pyloric nmbd[2308]:   There is already a domain master 
browser at IP 192.168.1.5 for workgroup PROJECTILE_WRK registered on 
subnet UNICAST_SUBNET.

It is successfully becomming the local master browser, but it's failing 
to become the domain master browser.  Is there any way to get samba to 
forget about its own old IP address?

Thanks,
