[jcifs] Bug in jcifs.netbios.NameServiceClient

[Steve Herndon]

Does the 1.1.7 release fix the problem I reported earlier? I'm assuming 
this release note:

"The DC lookup code has been modified to gracefully  handle  WINS  returning  an  empty  list (e.g. due to temporary network failure)."

refers to my problem?

thanks
