[jcifs] jcifs.util.transport.TransportException getMessage() returning null

[Michael B Allen]

Hi Mike,

I think maybe that constructor is not in older versions of the Java
standard libraries.

I have made a note of your observation for further investigation. At
least TransportException.getMessage() should not return null.

Thanks for the feedback,
Mike
