kadmin.c in the V5 beta 2 distribution assumes a maximum principal
name length of 755. This constant is hardcoded into the source code
in more than one location. Although it appears to be completely
wrong, it looks as if someone actually intended to use that specific
constant, and I am hesitant to rewrite the code without it for fear of
messing up. Can someone explain why it is there?
