With log level = 5, the error always appears immediately after the following
entry:

[2018/02/06 18:29:09.090976,  5]
../source3/nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:447(get_domain_master_name_node_status_success)
  get_domain_master_name_node_status_success:
  HAL(192.168.42.220) is a domain master browser for workgroup COOMBS        
ESC. Adding this name.

so:

[2018/02/06 18:29:09.090976,  5]
../source3/nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:447(get_domain_master_name_node_status_success)
  get_domain_master_name_node_status_success:
  HAL(192.168.42.220) is a domain master browser for workgroup COOMBS        
ESC. Adding this name.
[2018/02/06 18:29:09.091016,  4]
../source3/nmbd/nmbd_workgroupdb.c:165(find_workgroup_on_subnet)
  find_workgroup_on_subnet: workgroup search for COOMBS         ESC on subnet
UNICAST_SUBNET: name_to_nstring: workgroup name COOMBS         ESC is too long.
Truncating to
  found.

These also appear to be the only log entries in which the workgroup name appears
as “COOMBS         ESC". Everywhere else in the logs the workgroup appears
as “COOMBS”. For example:

[2018/02/06 18:29:09.091062,  4]
../source3/nmbd/nmbd_workgroupdb.c:165(find_workgroup_on_subnet)
  find_workgroup_on_subnet: workgroup search for COOMBS on subnet
192.168.42.220: found.
[2018/02/06 18:29:09.091093,  4]
../source3/nmbd/nmbd_workgroupdb.c:165(find_workgroup_on_subnet)
  find_workgroup_on_subnet: workgroup search for COOMBS on subnet
UNICAST_SUBNET: found.
[2018/02/06 18:29:09.091125,  4]
../source3/nmbd/nmbd_workgroupdb.c:165(find_workgroup_on_subnet)
  find_workgroup_on_subnet: workgroup search for COOMBS on subnet
UNICAST_SUBNET: found.

It would appear your workgroup name is 'COOMBS         ESC' not
'COOMBS'

Double check your smb.conf, stop samba binaries and then remove
any .tdb files in /var/lib/samba (or where yours are), restart Samba
and see how you go on.

Backup you smb.conf and run. 
sed "s,\x1B\[[0-9;]*[a-zA-Z],,g" smb.conf
This removes all esc ansi special and color characters. 
Try that first before deleting files.

I think the problem is now in his Samba cache and deleting these
shouldn't be a big problem, it is, after all, a Samba standalone
server.
