Author invalid ICMP type 11 error

I see the folling entries in my messages log when Samba is running :

192.168.2.104 sent an invalid ICMP type 11, code 0 error to a broadcast:
192.168.2.255 on eth0

I'm fairly new to networking, only know enough to get myself by so I'm a
little flustered as to why this is happening. The reading I've done
suggested that setting local master to "no" would help but it didn't
have any effect. I don't see any noticable performance problems but the
logs filling up with these messages are annoying. Any help is appreciated.

See FYI:

Bugzilla Bug 111681: Invalid ICMP type 11 messages echo'd to console

Add to /etc/sysctl.conf the following line:
net.ipv4.icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses=1
