At least it's fairly obvious -- my first guess as to the cause was
actually right ;-)

Hmmm. That solves the problem for /one/ of the realms ...

For anyone else digging through the archives (Hello groups.google.com!),
it's bytes 3 through 6. Change CDAB to ABCD (metaphorically speaking)
using something like `vim -b`. Additionally, I had to swap bytes 1 and
2 (the keytype). More details in src/lib/kdb/fetch_mkey.c.
I haven't done any real testing of it, but krb5kdc starts without errors
now.
