CHANGES in this patch file:
	- change to ticket file routines to explicitly use the real UID
	  when creating ticket files [allows setuid/root programs which
	  get tickets to work much easier by setting ruid/euid explicitly]
	- login changes to support same (login.c now works properly
	  as /bin/login)
	- changes to rlogin: better #ifdef for window size stuff and LPASS8,
	  narrowed window of race condition (which affected window size
	  propagation) as far as possible, ultrix fixes for -noflow
	- patch to sendkdata.c to use proper realm for remote host
	- add backward compatibility for ancient /etc/srvtab realm
	  fields
	- manual page update for rlogin.1
	- bug fix for kerberos.c on SPARC and other fussy architectures
	  (fixes problems with bogus addresses in tickets)
	- better description of ATHENA_COMPAT and ATHENA in comments of
	  config.Imakefile
	- patch to util/makedepend/Makefile for makeconfig
