[jcifs] Broken Pipes

[Allen, Michael B (RSCH)]

Yes, connections are "cached". The broken pipe is obviously the pipe/lanman pipe we issue
RAP calls on. I suppose jcifs could catch that and reissue the request. I'll try to reproduce
the scenario and make it a little more robust in this respect. There's probably somewhere
down lower I can trap these.
