A quick test shows that chrome uses getaddrinfo just like firefox. Given
that first getaddrinfo in the python test succeeded and also that
firefox resolves correctly with hook3.so (which adds some delay by
printing result to console), the problem might be when subsequent call
to getaddrinfo is called too quickly after previous call and something
in wins code doesn't have time to fail and clean up. Could you please do
another test?

- put wins back to nsswitch.conf
- run the old test to make sure it still fails
- run this new test which sleeps between getaddrinfo calls

Also, would you mind sharing your /etc/samba/smb.conf ?
