kinit and emacs don't play well on a Sun?

I am having a problem with kinit.  If I bring up an xterm window on a 
Sun and enter the kinit command, everything works as expected.  Now, I 
run emacs so that it brings up a separate W-Window in which to edit my
files.  When I quit from emacs, kinit no longer works.  It says:
	kinit: failed to get password
Nothing I do will clear up the problem for that window, although I can
bring up new windows that work correctly up until emacs is started from
them.  Has anyone seen this problem?  Is there a fix to either kinit or
emacs?
