[jcifs] Has anybody else seen problems with file names that startwith a dot?

Most definitely a bug. I'm a little surprised no one has spotted it all
this time which leads me to believe it was either recently introduced or
it's specific to certain "environmental conditions".

What server's have you tried that exhibit this behavior?

I'll look into it tomarrow...
