[jcifs] Server resolution for Windows 98

[Matthew Tippett]

Hello,

I seem to have found (and fixed) a problem with the fallback from the
*SMBSERVER called name not present condition when connecto to a master
browser to retrieve a list of known domains.

The problem manifested itself when attempting to talk to windows 98 SE
systems.  It looks like *SMBSERVER as a name is present in the CIFS
standard, and is implemented in XP/NT and above, but not Win98.  The
Nautilus implementation of smb (most likely though libsmb has similar
behaviour except it does a NBSTAT of
*<00><00><00><00><00><00><00><00><00><00><00><00><00><00><00> vs the
*<00> that jcifs currently does.

By applying the patch attached, I can now connect to a windows 98 master
browser and it all works great :).

Chris or Michael, can you make a comment on the 'correctness' of doing this?

Matt
