With the Makefiles generated by configure for version 5.4 beta 2, krb5kdc
compiles fine under Irix 5.2 but it dies upon execution.  The problem appears
to be a malloc-related bug in the routine krb5_rc_dfl_resolve.  I don't
know at this time if the problem is actually in the kerberos code or if 
it comes from Irix's library.  The fix (for now) is to add -lmalloc to 
the link os krb5kdc.
