The spec is intended to read as you say. I agree it's not clear - I'll fix
that. The "value" column in the table is intended to be a value within the
corresponding bit field, hence a routine error value of 1 corresponds to a GSS
status code of 1<<16 (since the LSB of the routine error field is sixteen bits
from the LSB of the status code).
#define GSS_S_BAD_MECH 1 << 16
#define GSS_S_BAD_NAME 2 << 16
etc.
is what's intended, and what we'll be implementing.
