[jcifs] Patch to fix some issues

[Sai Pullabhotla]

Just for clarification...

Are you saying that Windows XP (native windows code) does not set this flag
when connecting to network shares? If so, does it really matter what XP
does, if JCIFS with the flag set in its requests works with all SMB/CIFS
servers?

Thanks.
