samba - Feb 2003 - all names point to the same machine

[using a samba-2.999+3.0.alpha21-3 PDC on debian sid]

A new and interesting problem: all our windows machines now point to the
PDC when trying to browse a share on any machine:

\\<anyname> points to \\PDC

I checked that "dns proxy = no" (our wildcard dns entry points to the
PDC) to no avail. Howver if entering an ip address in \\my.ip.ad.res it
works, so it seems to be a name resolution problem.

Thanks in advance for any help, I've been trying everything on this one
and write to the list in dispair :)

Cheers,
