[jcifs] Null pointer exception in ServerMessageBlock.java

[Jake Goulding]

Thanks for the tip...

I traced the null String back to line 828 of SmbFile.java:

send( new SmbComNTCreateAndX( unc, flags, access, shareAccess, attrs, 
options, null ), response );

unc is null here, so I added a call to getUncPath0() directly before the 
if statement. Tracing into the call to getUncPath0(), I see that the if( 
in[i] != '/' ) on line 986 is true, causing the function to return null. 
Looking at the url given, I see the path is "#@pdc/IPC$/lsarpc". The 
host, authority and protocol all seem to be fine.

Any thoughts?
