[Samba] ERROR: Failed to open nmb broadcast socket

[Gerard Seibert]

Freebsd 12.0-RELEASE-p10
samba 4.8.12

Recently, my machine has started going into an endless loop with the
following message rolling off the screen continuously:

  nmbd_subnetdb:make_subnet()                                                   
    Failed to open nmb bcast socket on interface 0.255.255.255 for port 137.  Error was Can't assign requested address

  bind failed on port 137 socket_addr = 0.255.255.255.

[2019/10/21 05:46:50.980841,  0] ../source3/nmbd/nmbd_subnetdb.c:127(make_subnet)

I am unable to regain control of the PC and am forced to do a manual
shutdown and reboot.

I have no idea how to debug this problem. I would appreciate any help
available,
