[Samba] User not reported on file locked message

I have a very small problem.  Thanks for any suggestions.

Say user1 logs onto a Windows XP workstation and opens
file1.  Then, if user2 attempts to open the file from
another workstation the following message is displayed: 
"file1 is locked for editing by ''" 

Problem: *user1* is not displayed between the single quotes.

However, say user1 logs onto a Win98 workstation and opens
file1.  Then, if user2 attempts to open the file the
expected message is displayed:  "file1 is locked for editing
by 'user1'".

Maybe (?) this is related to the above problem:
I have also noted that the smbstatus command always shows
the text Machine name for Win98 clients but for WinXP
clients only sometimes the text Machine name is shown, but
usually the IP address is shown:

filesrv1:~ # smbstatus

Environment:
SLES 9 + Samba 3.0.9 from SuSE update service joined to
Win2K domain.

[global]
        workgroup = GROTECOMPANY
        realm = GROTECOMPANY.COM
        security = ADS
        map to guest = Bad User
        password server = visual1, filesrv2, *
        log level = 1
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192
SO_SNDBUF=8192
        preferred master = No
        local master = No
        domain master = No
        wins server = 192.168.1.201 192.168.1.55
        ldap ssl = no
        idmap backend = idmap_rid:GROTECOMPANY=10000-20000
        allow trusted domains = No
        idmap uid = 10000-20000
        idmap gid = 10000-20000
        winbind separator = /
        winbind use default domain = Yes
        printer admin = GROTECOMPANY/administrator
        admin users = GROTECOMPANY/administrator
        log file = /var/log/samba/%M.log

I also get the same behavior on my Samba test box which is
running SuSE 9.1 with Samba 3.0.11.
