The sunos tmpfs bug is annoying. It's especially annoying because
/tmp is hardcoded in lots of places and it is a pain to change. Even
worse, K5 has a complicated multi-layered collection of subroutines
for reading ticket caches of various kinds in various ways. It's all
very tricky and complicated and over engineered. It's for sure that
K5 is much larger than K4, without having enough additional useful
functionality to explain it. (Second system effect?)
No, it's just the ordinary price of universality and standardization.
