We have a Version 4 database that is rapidly growing in size (up
to about 4180 principals right now).  Recently I noticed that one 
particular principal that was just added cannot get a ticket granting
ticket.  I believe this may be an error somewhere in the way the
hashing algorithm is working as principals are stored or looked up
in the database.  Is this a fair assumption?  Has anyone else experienced
similar behavior?  

Thanks for your input,
Chris.
