Endless 'while' loop when making a non existing directory.

[alekseifedorov]

The following snippet results in hanging my application:
SFTPClient sftp = sshClient.newSFTPClient();
sftp.mkdirs("/non_existent_dir/another_dir");

Everything works if the path starts with an existing directory.

The cause seems to be in SFTPClient.statExistence(current.getPath())
which returns always 'null' for the case mentioned above.

Can you check whether the fix from #415 makes a difference?

[alekseifedorov]

Thanks, the fix works! It would be very nice to merge it in the master.

[alekseifedorov]

Could you recommend a workaround at the moment?

[hierynomus]

The best workaround would be to build sshj manually with the fix and use that for the time being. It's currently merged so the next release it will be fixed. But before releasing that I want to fix a few other issues.

Closing this issue as it is solved with latest master.
