samba F9 problem - matchname: host name/address mismatch

A Windows 98 machine of mine can not access samba shares after the samba 
server was upgraded to F9. It worked OK before the upgrade.

The samba logs say:

[2008/06/20 13:45:23,  0] lib/util_sock.c:matchname(1670)
   matchname: host name/address mismatch: ::ffff:192.168.0.93 !=
engraver.domain.avtechpulse.com
[2008/06/20 13:45:23,  0] lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_name(1791)
   Matchname failed on engraver.domain.avtechpulse.com ::ffff:192.168.0.93

The "::ffff:" may be the source of confusion. The DNS should be OK:

[root at server2 samba]# ping engraver
PING engraver.domain.avtechpulse.com (192.168.0.93) 56(84) bytes of data.
