This may come from a box with two interfaces on the same physical network, both
automagically found by its nmbd. The original query was a broadcast coming in on
both interfaces, the other nmbd responded to both of them (in fact the other box
saw two different packets coming in) and your nmbd got a little embarrased. :-)
I see a lot of these and I never care about it.
If you're really concerned about it, you might try to play with
"interfaces =". Be
careful, as you could stop nmbd answering queries on the "other"
interface.
Another way could be to seperate both networks either by physically seperating
them or by using VLANs in your switch.

The first response was "good", no reason to log. The second response
was
"superfluid", so it made its way into the log.

responses?
Indeed.
