[Samba] Lastest upgrade of smb on RedHat doesn't work

The latest upgrade of from samba 3.0.9 to samba 3.0.10 has caused  
problems on my samba server.

On the Windows computers you can no longer see the WINS server ( the  
RedHat server) in the Network Neighborhood, say server1.  The  
printers that we have added through the network neighborhood no  
longer work.

One has to search for the full name of the server  
( server1.xxx.xxx.edu) with the "Search"  program on Windows.  The  
server appears and the user will find that he is automatically logged  
into the server and all the printers are available.  If one adds  new  
printers from this connection, the printers work.  The next time that  
the user logs in the printers that are queues on server1.xxx.xxx.edu   
work; the printers on server1  do not.

I can't have my users trading back and forth.  Is there a patch for  
the latest upgrade?
Or how can I downgrade back to 3.0.10.

Other things that I see -------------

On the computer that works as expected:

pam_smb-1.1.7-1
samba-common-3.0.9-1.3E.10
samba-3.0.9-1.3E.10
redhat-config-samba-1.0.16-5
samba-client-3.0.9-1.3E.10
#> uname -r
2.4.21-47.0.1.EL

On the upgraded computer:

pam_smb-1.1.7-5
gnome-vfs2-smb-2.8.2-8.2
system-config-samba-1.2.21-1
samba-3.0.10-1.4E.11
samba-client-3.0.10-1.4E.11
samba-common-3.0.10-1.4E.11
samba-swat-3.0.10-1.4E.11
# uname -r
2.6.9-42.0.8.ELsmp



Using "smbclient -L server -N"  on the system that  was upgraded  
gives me:

Using the same command on the system that was not upgraded, I get:

Using "smbstatus" on the system that is upgraded, I get:
