samba - Aug 2005 - Samba3 server tries to sync WINS with itself and fails

I have a Samba 3 server that is trying to sync with itself.  I have
wins support = yes in the samba configuration file and there are no
other WINS servers on the network.

The IP address of the Samba server is 192.168.10.4 and is trying to
sync with itself but fails...

Here's the error from log.nmbd

[2005/08/10 12:34:21, 0] nmbd/nmbd_nameregister.c:register_name_response(130)
  register_name_response: WINS server at IP 192.168.10.4 rejected our

Any ideas on how I make it the local WINS server?

Just to let everyone I fixed my problem.  I deleted the wins.dat and
let samba create a new one which effectively removed samba's history
of the wins machines.  Therefore it didn't have a ghost image of the
previous servers.
