I can't be more specific, but the solaris ucb libraries are known to
be buggy. If you use them, the binaries will usually work, but will
exhibit really weird failures you won't be able to debug.
Use of the Solaris ucb libraries may be incompatible with linking with
some of the other Solaris provided libraries. In almost any
circumstances, using the ucb libraries is generally a mistake.
Kerberos V5 is designed to portable enough that it will compile and link
file using the native Solaris C libraries. Using the ucb library is
therefore not necessary will cause you grief in the long run.
