No. A 3.0 machine (running as a router and WINS (samba) server)
should have sent them out too but doesn show this in the routes.

No. The machine it was happening on has:
*      @(#)if_ether.c  8.1 (Berkeley) 6/10/93
 * $Id: if_ether.c,v 1.35 1996/11/15 18:50:31 fenner Exp $ 
 */   

There are a lot of other machine built with that version of if_ether.c
in the net. Possibly only the one mentioned (router/samba WINS)
might have sent broadcasts recently as well.
