With log level = 5, the error always appears immediately after the following entry:

[2018/02/06 18:29:09.090976,  5] ../source3/nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:447(get_domain_master_name_node_status_success)
  get_domain_master_name_node_status_success:
  HAL(192.168.42.220) is a domain master browser for workgroup COOMBS         ESC. Adding this name.

so:

[2018/02/06 18:29:09.090976,  5] ../source3/nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:447(get_domain_master_name_node_status_success)
  get_domain_master_name_node_status_success:
  HAL(192.168.42.220) is a domain master browser for workgroup COOMBS         ESC. Adding this name.

  find_workgroup_on_subnet: workgroup search for COOMBS         ESC on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET: name_to_nstring: workgroup name COOMBS         ESC is too long. Truncating to
  found.

These also appear to be the only log entries in which the workgroup name appears as “COOMBS         ESC". Everywhere else in the logs the workgroup appears as “COOMBS”. For example:

[2018/02/06 18:29:09.091062,  4] ../source3/nmbd/nmbd_workgroupdb.c:165(find_workgroup_on_subnet)
