[Java] jcifs problem fixed in 1.1.5

I got a message from Mike of the jcifs team that the problem with ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException should be fixed in version 1.1.5. From http://jcifs.samba.org/:

jcifs-1.1.5 released / ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
posted by Santa, Dec 17, 2004
It was discovered that an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException could occur if the list of domain controllers returned by NbtAddress.getAllByName was shorter than the list returned in the previous call (possibly because the WINS query timed out and switched to an alternate WINS server). All NTLM HTTP Authentication Filter users should upgrade to prevent this error. Also, the value of jcifs.netbios.cachePolicy set by the NTLM HTTP Filter if it is not specified has been doubled to 20 minutes. Finally, some log levels have been increased such that running with jcifs.util.loglevel = 3 temporarily is actually reasonable in a production environment (must use loglevel > 3 to see individual SMB messages and loglevel > 5 to get hexdumps).

Will test the new version in January I think.
