edsc kerberos problem

Once in a while I get a strange authentication problem when using
Emacs discuss from the sipb locker.  When I type M-x discuss-version I
get:

$Header: /mit/discuss/source/edsc/RCS/discuss.el,v 2.2 91/08/05 19:46:54 bjaspan Exp $

Anyway, once in a while I'm not allowed to go into a meeting which
isn't open to the public.   I can easily get into the meeting using
the normal tty discuss.  I also notice that my ticket file isn't
getting any 'discuss.machine@ATHENA.MIT.EDU' entries after a full
listing.   I briefly see an error message in the emacs mini-buffer
saying something to the effect of 'Kerberos principal unknown, blah
blah...'

I've tried refreshing my tickets from scratch, quitting and restarting
the edsc process, but it still doesn't work.  I only get this problem
once in a while, and I can't determine what circumstances are in
common. 

Anyway, if someone has seen this problem before and knows a solution,
or just knows that it's a bug that I can't do anything about, please
let me know.  Thanks.
