   On a related topic what does Kerberos assume for the value of the
   Initialization Vector?

Most calls to pcbc_encrypt seem to use the key itself as the
initialization vector.  I caught some of the internal server-side
database routines using the key schedule for the ivec when I ran a
server on the RT.  I stamped this out since the key schedule is
byte-order dependent and the key isn't.
