[jcifs] share name length,

[Christopher R. Hertel]

That is only a query limit, though (at least I think so).

The query sent to the server asking for the list of shares limits the 
share name to 13 characters.  I do not know whether or not it is possible 
to connect to a share with a longer name.  These are separate parts of the 
protocol and may have separate limits.
