Please read the Ubuntu Forums thread. Specifically from post #18 on.
I believe it is the Ubuntu script for the DHCP client that is the culprit.

With all due respect I have difficulty with this claim. I have
implemented Samba at hundreds of sites that use DHCP without ever
noticing the problem reported below. I would dearly like to see
evidence that supports a relationship between DHCP and smb.conf re-reads.

normal behavior.
Must be depending on how you started samba and what you configured as
a log file.
If you started samba on command line and have no log configured, all
the messages will come on your command line...
