Kerberos 5 kinit problem

I have the Kerberos 5 software on several Ultrix 4.3 systems.
These are the RISC processor machines from DEC.

In most cases, it all works with no problems.  But on one machine,
I get an error when trying kinit.  The software was built on one
machine and then copied to the others.

I have checked the /etc/services files and they seem basically the same.
I have included log messages below.  The first item is for a kinit from
a machine that works.  The second & third messages are from the bad
machine.

Does anyone know why this kind of error would occur?
Is it likely that some sort of CPU glitch is causing a checksum failure?
Or the encryption comes out wrong?
