That is 161 lines of expired stuff.

[1:04 tm dvl ~] % sudo net cache list | grep -x expired

[1:06 tm dvl ~] % sudo service samba_server stop
Stopping smbd.
Waiting for PIDS: 35379, 35379.
Stopping nmbd.

[1:09 tm dvl ~] % sudo mv /var/db/samba4/gencache.tdb ~/tmp
[1:09 tm dvl ~] % sudo service samba_server start          
Performing sanity check on Samba configuration: OK
Starting nmbd.
Starting smbd.
[1:09 tm dvl ~] % 

The messages did not immediately recur. I waited about two minutes. I'll report back tomorrow if they appear overnight.

Thank you for your time.
