[jcifs] jcifs-1.1.8 released / Blocked Threads Again, DC Lookups, Name Service, and More

[Michael B Allen]

The  blocked  thread  bug  wasn't quite fixed in the last release. A lookup
exception  (e.g. caused by an unresponsive domain controller) could leave a
thread  blocked  if  many  requests  are  being  processed  simultaneously.
Similarly  the  fix for the DC lookup code wasn't complete enough to handle
the  unusual  scenario  where  all  DCs  are unresponsive. Also, a malfomed
NetBIOS  name  query  response  could cause the name service thread to exit
incorrectly.  These  issues  have  been fixed. Finally, the URL handling of
smb://@/ (meaning "null" credentials) has been fixed.
