[jcifs] threading

[Christopher R. Hertel]

Based on a little more information, it *may* be that there is a DNS lookup 
going on.  I'm not sure.

Some of the Java implementations I've seen use the native gethostbyxxx()  
functions (or whatever is equivalent on the platform) which block.  A
blocking system call will cause the entire Java process to block.

This is a rare problem now-a-days.  Most implementors have learned to 
avoid it.  Still, it's worth checking.
