[Samba] Samba 3.6.1 losing browser elections to WinXP

Hello Samba;
I am aware this was a problem years ago...
This week I turned up a brand new server
to replace an embarrassingly old one. The
problem has re-occurred.
I expected this to be a problem long ago
fixed.
I have made the following registry edit to the
offending XP machine and restarted Samba.
I hope it sticks.
I have two questions:
1) Have I missed something in the configuration?
or is there some reason this isn't fixed?
2) How can I force a browser election without
restarting the daemons? smbd doesn't seem
to respond to a SIGHUP. A command line would
be nice.
Thanks,
Ray
