Since the advent of Bugbear-B thre has been a lot of incoming netbious stuff (which I block, but only after natd has had a go at the packet). Perhaps this is the cause? Anyway, this particular server's ruleset has grown "organically" over about 2 years, so it is rather a mess. I think I need to give it a spring clean, remove the crud, and see how it behaves. I'll come back if I'm still having this problem after that. Thanks again, Regards, Patrick.
