[jcifs] Random problems connecting to DFS server

[Gabor Herr]

Hi Mike,

I've just tried your suggested workaround with my test case. Unfortunately
it does not fix the problem. It looks like some method called from
Dfs.resolve gets delayed (maybe waiting for some server response) and in
the meanwhile tconHostname is set to null.
