[jcifs] client disconnects when lmcompatibility set to 5

[Michael B Allen]

Hi Jimmy,

I would need to see a good packet capture before I could even begin to
decipher what is happening.

However, note that I have little to no free time for working on
non-critical issues in JCIFS so unless this turns out to be something
obvious, it's entirely possible that it might end up on the TODO for
"further investigation" and unfortunately we have things on the TODO
that have been under further investigation for years.

But if you send me a capture, I'm happy to at least look at it.

Mike
