I got the same problem on my linux system (kernel 2.0.36) and the solution (or the workaround, I don't
know for shure;-)) was quite simple: in the startup script (on my system, atalk in the rc.d) the atalkd
had been started using startproc; I removed the startproc:
/usr/sbin/atalkd || return=$rc_failed
/usr/bin/nbprgstr -p 4 `hostname|sed 's/\..*$//'`:Workstation
[...]
and now it works (there is a little delay between the start of atalkd and the nbp_rgstr on startup).
It seems to me, that the startup of the atalkd using startproc isn't completed when the nbp_rgstr tries
to register.
I hope, I could help.
Stefan
