2)  How can I force a browser election without
    restarting the daemons?  smbd doesn't seem
    to respond to a SIGHUP.  A command line would
    be nice.


Look at the "smbcontrol" command.


        os level = 65

Did you try to increase "os level" ?

Also, read the man page for the "domain master" parameter.

From smb.conf  man page:

preferred master (G)

This boolean parameter controls if nmbd(8) is a preferred master browser for its workgroup.

If this is set to yes, on startup, nmbd will force an election, and it will have a slight advantage in winning the election. *It is recommended that this parameter is used in conjunction with domain master = yes, so that nmbd can guarantee becoming a domain master.*
