Unit tests illustrating the problems

Two problems with exception thrown by ProxyDirContext.lookup

- ProxyDirContext.lookup throws notFoundException when the entry doesn't exist.
notFoundException is a field and therefore initialized at ProxyDirContext
creation.

The consequence is that the exception thrown contains a stacktrace that has
nothing to do with the current execution stack. This makes difficult to find
the root cause of a problem. If this is really an optimization (what is the
gain), then what about making this field static?

- ProxyDirContext.lookup is not consistent: for the same call it may throw
NamingException or NameNotFoundException depending whether the cache has been
used or not.

Problems occur in Tomcat 6 and 7.
