[jcifs] Deadlock issue

[Stéphane Bond]

Hi
   We use jcifs 1.2.9 on a portal server where many simultaneous 
connections for different users have to be managed simultaneously in the 
same Tomcat context.

Some times, a deadlock appear and leave most of our threads in the 
"BLOCKED" state.

With jstack, we discover that all of the theses threads are blocked at 
the same line :

Thread 26101: (state = BLOCKED)
 - 
jcifs.smb.SmbTransport.getSmbSession(jcifs.smb.NtlmPasswordAuthentication) 
@bci=0, line=122 (Compiled frame)
 - jcifs.smb.SmbFile.connect() @bci=35, line=787 (Interpreted frame)

(Interpreted frame)
 - jcifs.smb.SmbFile.listFiles() @bci=7, line=1495 (Interpreted frame)
- Portlet code...

Did somebody already see this problem ?
