Hi,

There is a coding bug in the latest version of the jcifs v1.3.14

When looping through the list of wins servers and waiting for response the code 
refers to incorrectly initialised variable (timeout)

Class - jcifs.netbios.NameServiceClient
method - send( NameServicePacket request, NameServicePacket response, int 
timeout ) throws IOException

The code for the waiting for response has while (timeout > 0) {
the variable 'timeout' has not been initialised. So the first IP address 
in jcifs.netbios.wins gets 3Sec but the next ones don't wait for a response at 
all.

I am not sure of where to file this bug, so sending to the list.

Cheers,
Prasad
