Proposed patch for Samba 3.6.6

smbc_free_context(smbcctx) frees the global parameter structure
if there is no other SMBCCTX. But next smbc_new_context()
(SMBC_module_init() called by smbc_new_context()) does not
initialize the new global parameter structure if $HOME
environment variable is not defined. Thus following libsmbclient
APIs call can NOT work correctly.

I've created a test code:

You can see the problem as the below:

  $ wget -q https://gist.github.com/raw/3102379/310928ac6f4538f0debf7321d994c9c6529d5e99/test-libsmbclient-without-HOME-env.c
  $ gcc -lsmbclient test-libsmbclient-without-HOME-env.c
  $ echo $HOME
  /home/fumiyas
  $ ./a.out smb://server/share
