[jcifs] jCIFS API issue with a dual layer DFS

[Michael B Allen]

Hi Marina,

Please send all replies (except those with packet captures or
sensitive data) to the JCIFS mailing list.

There are currently 38 items on the JCIFS TODO list but many of those
are insignificant compared to the type of issue you are reporting
(assuming it is a real issue). Some issues have been on the TODO list
for many years. I don't have much Free time anymore.

Mike
